Re: How Does Legere Control Strength

The "laying down strips" I describe above is a form of 3d printing. Of course when these reeds were first conceived 3d printing was not commonplace (certainly there were no "home printers") and this process was revolutionary and offered unparalleled control of the profile/dimensions.
This high level of precision has an unexpected downside - as the Reed is perfectly symmetrical Reed placement becomes more critical.
The dimensions now being highly accurate, and the production now having control over the material strength, was intended to result in accurate and predictable Reed STRENGTH. However mass production appears to have derailed this outcome to some extent.
