What style of cutting is applied to the Rue lepics that's different from the other Vandoren products (including the thinner-blank Traditionals)? This takes me back to my question in another thread about scanners that could map the entire contour of a reed and, using computer algorithms, compare the shapes of competing reeds.

I'm not challenging what you've said. There has to be, I would think, a difference between the ways 56 Rues and V.12s, for examples, are cut.

I *am* curious about what you mean by saying that a different style of cutting is "required for a reed with this type of shape." What type of shape, in specific terms?
