Hi Tobin. "The reed seals completely against the mouthpiece several times a second as the reed vibrates " I've heard this often enough over the years and just passed unquestioningly by, but this morning with my first sip of coffee I'm wondering, does it?
Other vibrating materials, like strings, don't have to strike or seal anything to produce sound. The reed vibrates rather faster than several times a second, and sitting here at the computer it strikes me that the amplitude of that vibration at the tip of the reed seems less than the tip opening, at least at softer dynamics.
