Re: Breaking in reed - new approach?

When you did your measurements of the same model reed and noticed differences in size when examining the same area of two different reeds, was it possible that each reed's ability to absorb moisture might have accounted for these differences?

I'd be curious to know if such differences are observable today when doing the same test (on Vandorens) just after opening their individual packaging. My days as a child player provided no such protections by Vandoren against humidity, as I suspect many would recall and under which you might have effected these test.

Given the climate controlled factories I'm to understand Vandoren cuts them in, and the shrink wrap that is supposed to keep them closer to those ambient conditions (temperature notwithstanding) until ready for use, I wonder if less (physical) variation between, say, two V21's would be noticeable.

My targeting Vandoren is solely because their packaging around the reed and climate controlled factories might provide better scientific controls as compared to other manufacturers who package their reeds to solely resist physical (not environmental) change.
