@Wes, I don't think you can just add windows to a W scrape. Full American scrape reeds are structurally different from classic W scrape reeds, differences that begin with the gouge.
@Cooper, you make/used to make pro-reeds. I remember on your blog how upset you were that someone had given you a lousy review, anonymously, and you had no way to fix that, right? Back me up here!
@Beatrice, all the pro reedmakers, the real ones who make reeds they play and perform on themselves, always prefer you to return a reed you find doesn't meet your requirements.
It goes to their professional pride in their work.
Also, remember that reeds are very fickle and can change enormously over time, changing due to weather conditions and elevation (among other things). Providing the perfect reed through the post is hard to do, and most sellers are willing to take a couple of tries to get it right.
