Re: What reeds with c w fobes cf+ ?

The CF+ has a lay curve of 17mm and a tip opening of 1.0mm
The CWF has a lay curve of 17.5mm and a tip opening of .96mm.

These are similar as regarding reed strength. But the big difference is inside!

They start life as different styles of Zinner blanks.

The CWF has a deeper baffle chamber than the CF+. The CF+ has a baffle closer to the coveted Chedeville or Kaspar style. That is why the CWF will give much more ring in the tone. The CF+ will give more volume and a wee bit more punch.
