Hi Karen, there is a very good little book published by the University of
Oregon, written by the retired Dr. Wagner. Dr. Wagner was the clarinet
teacher there before Dr. Wayne Bennett. This is a very good book and has
every thing you want to know about reeds but thought other instrumentalist
would thing you were crazy if you asked. If you were to Call Wayne I am
sure he could get a copy of the book for you.

Good luck.
