The pick-up tubes just press in. I carefully use a pair of medium sized pliers and wiggle them and slide em out, then just press em into the new ones. Just make sure that you press em in all the way(carefully).

Doesn't look like they make OMC reeds... just Yamaha and Banshee.. or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.. Thanks on the pick up tube proceedure.. :)

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
