Again, cane is a plant, not a high density polymer, not an engineered alloy, not a synthetic crystal with controlled cooling, pressure and chemical composition.

These maps are very useful for study, not so hot for reproduction. Reedmakers who use templated profilers must still finish them off by hand for exactly those reasons.

Cane density, vascular bundles (as one supplier used to put it), the age of the cane, its "health" and many more factors (including WEATHER) intervene.

This map is very useful but let no one be fooled that it will produce the same kind of reed that the original pro used to produce... no more than me buying a Ludwig Frank Albrecht Mayer model oboe will make me suddenly sound and play like Albrecht Mayer!
