 Re: adjusting reed intonation

Just thought I'd add that my conjecture about the length of the standing wave is in need of revision. The length of the area inside the reed which can reach a state where the blades touch is hardly as long as the length between two notes, and a reed can usually bend a half-step without too much trouble. So something else is going on. Even so, I think there is a correlation between the amount of reed closure and pitch. Maybe it has something to do with how "truncated cones" work.

I'm continuing to ponder, and am always interested in others who are researching this, investigating this from the physics/acoustics standpoint and what they are figuring out.

Good resource: The Acoustics of Musical Instruments by Fletcher, et al.
