Alphonse, Is the wire an essential part of the reed? Do they work without the wire?

Also, this is the first time I have ever heard of such a short staple! Your scrape length is the same as for an american scrape (would correspond to a 71mm reed total length on a 47mm staple).

When you say the crow should increase with increasing air, do you mean pitch? In other words the pitch rises and falls with air alone?

Truly fascinating. Thanks for posting the pictures!

Mike - your reeds look just perfect. And, BTW, looks DO count when evaluating a reed.
Kerry Willingham (reedmaker.com) has a couple of videos online in which he makes a reed from start to finish without blowing it once, based only upon the way the reed looks! He then puts it into his instrument and plays it - responsive, in tune and easy-blowing.
