CEC,


You'd know one of these if you saw one. The bottom of the window is MUCH narrower (the window is shaped kinda like a tornado). So the rails are super wide at the bottom, flaring out half way up and tapering quickly to a normal thinness at the top. The theory Frank was working is taking the resistance (vibrations) of the reed into consideration as you work from the top of the reed on down.

Pretty cool.

He also designed a trumpet mouthpiece that had an ovate opening leading into the shank, more or less for the same reasons.
