How do you put a clarinet reed in a reed Gard?

Answer:
Look at the reed, first off, and notice how one side is flat and the other side has an incline and a type of bump. Put the reed into the reed guard thinnest side first and flat slide. At first it seems as if you might crush the reed or chip it, but the bump on the other side will stop it from doing that. And there you go, you put a clarinet reed into a reed guard. :)
