 Re: Clarinet reed microscopy

I just presented my poster at the conference and a guy had a really interesting idea.

He said that he thought porosity of the reed was probably really important and that if a new reed was wetted, then the cells would likely swell up and alter the musical properties of the reed significantly. He said that he has some very serious machinery that could be used to look at the porosity of the reeds before and after wetting, and that he'd be really pleased to have a look if I could send suitable reeds to him.

I thought it was really interesting that he suggested that wetting the reed would have a big effect, as people have mentioned on here that cycles of wetting-drying make a big difference to the musical properties of the reed.

I'm planning to send him some reeds that are new and unused, and some that have had several wet-dry cycles so he can have a look and see what's going on. He's an academic (public funded) scientist so we'd be able to publish the research so everybody could have a look.

I wondered if that would fit with your idea of how reeds work in real life?

Thanks!
