good reeds

Hi,

I'm trying to learn how to choose good reeds and improve them to work better for me, and as a start I've opened a whole box of reeds, photographed them close up and am play testing them.

I've figured out that the good ones seem to be the ones with the evenly spaced vertical lines across the whole width of the reed tip, with the lines being not too thick and not too thin.

I predicted from my photos that this reed (image attached) would be a good one, and it is. Mainly it is just very responsive, and doesn't hesitate when I play, which is really helpful.

I wondered if that fits with other people's experience?

Thanks!
