 Re: Reed strength

They don't design a given strength.
All the reeds of the same make and model e.g. VD V12, are cut to the same dimension. The strength difference comes entirely from the cane and the maker tests each reed and grades it 1 to 5 according to how it tests.

Obviously they design the basic dimensions to give them the spread they need, that is most reeds will test in the 2.5 to 3.5 range and fewer in the 1 and 5 strengths.
