 My camera seems to have developed a focusing allergy...but you might get an idea...
 
 Pic 1 is the dead reed with Mr Dee's drawing on it. He has highlighted the 'heart', the two 'windows' and the marks on the side are essentially the proportions used in a long scrape, but condensed into a short scrape (he advocates marks at 70mm (approx length), 65 (base of roofline) and 60 (top of the windows).
 
 Pic 2 is my attempt at the new reed backlit. You can't make out the tip very well, but I can see the heart, windows and some semblance of a spine - hopefully you can too!
