Subj: [kl] French Cut
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001 14:16:51 -0500

I don't know what the official Mitchel Lurie
definition
of French Cut is but here is my opinion. First, I
don't believe that French Cut refers to the cut line
where the rough part of the reed meets the bark. Reeds
with that cut line are called "File cut". I have used
some of the Mitchel Lurie reeds labeled as French Cut
or Premium and I have had good results with them.
To me they seem to be cut just a little bit thinner
than regular ML reeds. It is common knowledge that
ML reads are softer than Van Doren reeds for a given
number and I think that the ML French Cut reeds are
even softer than the regular ML reeds. When I buy ML
French Cut reeds I have to go up a half step from
what I would normaly buy for a standard ML reed.
