Robin,

That reed should be encased and enshrined!

This might be a topic for a different thread (eventually) but one of my teachers showed me his 10 year collection of archived reeds. He only kept the absolute best of the best playing reeds and not as judged by appearance.

Over-time they become your own fossil record of sorts and upon very close examination every couple of years along the way, the reed maker will see very different things.

Some obvious differences might become less apparent, and some subtle thing can really stand out.

For me, 20+ years into this habit now, the biggest thing offering insight is the study of reed profiles, like the side-view pics in Weber's manual and some other's more modern reed guide info.
