Subject: Two specific questions on reeds

I have a specific question about reeds:reed-heel thickness.
French clarinettiste Guy Danguin saids in his book that standard reed heel
thickness is 2.8 mm(0.1102") but that if its thickness bemes 3mm(0.1181")
the tones become more rounder. Dit anyone experience this phenomena
actually? Do anyone know any commercialy available reeds which have heel
thickness larger than 2.8mm?

=============================================================================

I measured some Grand Concert Thick Blank reeds, and they were 3mm. There
you go.
