Hey guys, cool it!
Nobody here is accusing each other of being unprofessional or unknowledgable. Yet. Let's keep it that way. You can both agree to differ.
Drew, nobody is doubting that, within certain parameters, it is possible to make a reasonably well-playing reed from a wide range of gouges and good reeds from most gouges. An experienced reedmaker such as yourself will be able to accommodate many variances of gouge, often without needing to think about it first. I wish I had your skill!
Cooper, you are obviously very focused right now on getting your gouge just right, so that your reeds have that quality of extra vitality and depth. You've discovered that, for you, the gouge is an essential ingredient. That's great! And please keep sharing your expertise so that we can all benefit from your findings. Perhaps we can imitate them.
I read a great article about cane here:
http://koppreeds.com/virtues.html
The discussion of the internal structure of cane would seem to suggest that reeds will actually be harder if the gauge is thinner, since the heart and tip of the reed will be formed more from the denser, outer layers of cane and not from the softer, inner layers. Is this correct?
