Re: "Hand Selected" Reeds

Mitchell Lurie used to have (maybe still has) a "hand selected" grade reed. As young players back in the '70s and '80s we used to joke about how they might have been selected and by whom? You can usually tell if a reed has been wet and dried even once, and they looked pristine, so I doubt if it involved anything more than eyeballing or maybe a scanner that passed light through the reed and measure the evenness of the density, but those are only guesses.
