I think the relevant concept is that a thicker blank or thicker reed may
affect the mass of cane, but not the density. Density, as the term is
used in such a discussion as this is a property of any substance which is
more properly called "specific gravity." This is a "ratio of the mass of
a given volume of any material to the mass of an equal volume of water."
Both mass and density, among many others, are qualities which will affect
the vibratory characteristics of a reed.
