Re: Breaking in reed - new approach?

I completely agree that the puff of air/deflection test to determine reed strength--despite well scientifically controlled with respect to air pressure (like a glaucoma test)--is as highly flawed a method for determining play strength as it nonetheless is the best method (given the alternatives) with respect to speed of results.

Perhaps someday, despite how far we've come, synthetic reeds (where consistency can be better controlled) will be nearly imperceptible in more ways from the best cane, or machines will be able to examine cane both microscopically and in a fraction of a second to compare it, using AI (artificial intelligence) to patterns already machine learned to arrive at more precise strength calculations, perhaps even custom shaping the reed to reflect such inter- and intra-reed differences. And that's assuming good correlation can be found between reed imaging and play results.

But IMHO I can't see this happening until such tech's costs are much much less than they are today, likely much more advanced, and viable only if synthetic solutions approach a limit with respect to mirroring the best of cane.
