What not to expect

Although you'll be learning reed adjustment techniques, there is no guarantee that all reeds are adjustable. Be prepared for the possibility that some of your reeds will not be revived. Also, we only have 2 hours so you may not have enough time to adjust all the reeds you bring. 

Some Rules

Video recording is strictly prohibited. Sharing any reproduction of the revivals - in any form - is prohibited. I'm trying to make a living here. 

If a revival is delayed or cancelled due to technical difficulties at our end, we will reschedule at no extra cost to you. However, we will not offer refunds or compensation due to technical difficulties you experience at your end. 

Revive at your own risk! Some of these tools are sharp and can be dangerous. You must proceed with caution. Chris Apps Reeds LLC is not responsible for injuries you might suffer during a reed revival. Keep all tools out of reach of children. If an attendee is under the age of 18, they should have adult supervision whilst using any tools. 

Refunds will be offered if written cancellation is received at least 48 hours before the start of the revival. 

We reserve the right to disallow any participant whom we deem to be disruptive.
