Re: Reed Tip Thickness

My guess would be thicker than the regular D'Addario Reserve reeds, which advertise as having "a standard tip thickness for quick response." I assume clarity and response go pretty hand-in-hand. I am asking strictly about it's effect on articulation. It goes without saying that things like balance and depth of sound have less to do with the tip.

I actually ONLY use my ATG for final adjustments and thinning the tip for that very reason. If I use it for anything else, the tip becomes too thin or imbalanced (if I work only one side, I always go over the tip a couple of times to even things out, otherwise it chirps badly).
