I have a colleague who has started wrapping with silk thread, but he did note the ease of breakage (perhaps just the particular one he had - it seemed quite thin).
As the thread sits below the join between staple and cane, I can't imagine it making any difference to the sound or feel of the reed.
What I do seems to work for me, I get no slippage, breakage or leaking, and I can pull as tight or as little as I want/need, plus my reeds are consistent, so I'm happy to keep on keeping on! But I am interested in what has been done before us, and if there is a good reason we no longer do things 'the old way', I would be keen to know why.
