Ken,

the length of the time the reed closes against the mp is one of the factors of good tone, I believe. Beginners usually bite too hard on the reed and compensate with a lot of air pressure, yielding a muffled tone. Then the reed will close much. A light and beautiful piano tone is achieved with a reed, which is almost not closing. I cannot prove any of this (though I wished I could), but it feels that way.

The reed itself clearly acts like a valve. It closes due streaming air on the back side (thus less aire pressure there), and it opens due to pressure from the wave front on the bore side.
