Well, there wasn't exactly a mad scramble to keyboards to shed light on this question, was there?! I'm just getting back into playing and reed making after a very long layoff, but I would take an educated guess that there is a 2-4 hundredths of a mm. increase in the soaked piece of cane. To make these measurements I prefer a manual micrometer with personally reshaped contacts from the original flats. I hope mine is in the storage locker! Years ago, I remember opening some fellow, oboe player's Starret's (sic?) automatic micrometers and removing some of the leaf spring's material, so they didn't press as hard against the cane. That situation may be different now, but I don't know for sure. I will try to check on your question in the next week or so. Regards, Loree BF51
