Well, have been looking for my "reed reference storage case" for the last several days and have come up short. But let me state what I do remember.
Mr. Weber made a special EH reed for me (he doesn't sell ones he makes, but made it for me to reference from). Just as his book states, it looks exactly like one of his oboe reeds, but on a bigger scale. No, he doesn't take as much out of the back, (the thickest place in the heart on his oboe reeds is probably around .45, while the thinnest place in the windows of his oboe reeds is around .29), the difference is quite noticeable, and does produce the regular curvy side profile that is displayed in his book to describe oboe reeds. So in this regard, I suppose it would still be considered a "Philly style" EH reed.
