Hi Karl,

Thanks for looking. No. 10 didn't play well at all. It was too hard and had a very hesitant response. Looking at the image, I think it is just very hard because the dark areas are lignifed xylem vessels and it really has lot of them, and heavily lignified. (They are like pieces of wire, reinforcing the reed, so having too many makes it very hard.)

I haven't tried no 9 yet, but I will tomorrow and will report back. I do see what you mean. It looks really well reinforced just like 10.

No 1 is wonderful. I am trying to break in 1 and 5 gently to I can send them off to another microscopist for more analysis. I played 1 again today and it was absolutely brilliant. I tried my tune where I have to cross the break legato, and I'm almost certain that I can do it right on that reed. I haven't made a recording yet to see if the computer agrees, and I don't see my teacher until Thursday. It really felt like the perfect reed though.

I have been looking at very hard Vandoren 5 strength reeds and wondering if I could sand them down really thin to make great reeds. They seem to have such a lot of very fine lines in them. I'm not sure though. I might have a go.

Thanks so much for looking. :-)
