Nickla said "I quickly realized trough videos on youtube and such that all strenghts are the same thickness. Measured with many hundred points in a laser measuring machine of some kind. THEN the strenght of the reed is determined, by some kind of flexing device. So the FIBERS is determining what strenght it is."
From my vast experience in adjusting, breaking in and making reeds from blanks I'll say this. It depends on the standard that the player has that will determine what a "good" reed is or not. When I made my own I have several tools that measured the thickness of the reeds and after many experiments and time I came up will a model of a reed that I copied for many years.
I don't agree with the statement above that all commercial reeds are the same thinknesses no matter what the strength.
