[Concerning the difference between French-cut and German-cut reeds.]

I'm glad you pointed that out Bill. I thought that the difference in the
French-cut and the German-cut was that the French-cut was a generally
larger, overall thinner reed for the French style mouthpieces that have a
wider lay. The German-cut reeds were generally thicker and shorter for the
German style mouthpieces with the narrower lay.

Maybe someone can tell me where I was confused, because I do think it is
something we should be familiar with if we are passing on information to our
students who go to the stores insisting on one thing or another.

[Since everyone here is familiar with my sarcastic humor, I want you to know
I'm NOT being sarcastic here. I really want to know where I was confused if
you can help.]

Anyone?

Robert
