If you would like to learn about how reed vibration works on a clarinet,
the most lucid and accurate description I've ever seen is in Benade,
"Fundamentals of Musical Acoustics", pp. 435-439. This also includes all
of the relevant references to the people that did the seminal work on the
subject, namely:

* German physicist Wilhelm Weber, 1830
* H. Bouasse, "Instruments @-----. (Paris: Librairie
Delagrave, 1929 and 1930), I:68-79.
* John Backus, "Small Vibration Theory of the Clarinet," J.
Acoust. Soc. Ame. 35 (1963): 305-13.
* Cornelis J. Nederveen, "Acoustical Aspects of Woodwind Instruments,"
(Amseterdam: Frits knuf, 1969), pp. 28-37.
* Walter E. Worman, "Self-Sustained Nonlinear Oscillations of Medium
Amplitude in Clarinet-like Systems" (Ph.D. dissertation, Case
Western Reserve University; Cleveland, Ohio, 1971), Appendix A.
* Worman, "Self-Sustained Nonlinear Oscillations."

Happy reading!
