Elementary looking? If you can figure out a scientific way to describe what
"lasts longest" means (a lot harder than you'd think offhand, since
"failure" can mean _a lot_ of different things!) , and can control the
variables and test _something_ about the reeds - and have it repeatable over
some range, you'd most probably win a prize!

Along with a job at a reed company :^)
