 Re: Shaper tips -- changing one aspect will cause what?

When you wrap the cane around the staple, each edge of the cane bends from "almost horizontal" to "vertical" when looking along the axis of the reed. This twist gradually unwinds to the tip, and it is the spring that pushes the blades together.

The flared shape lets the spring unwind gradually to the tip and so the blades remain tightly together. Parallel sides have little force holding them together.

As a thought-experiment, imagine that the curve of the shape continued _beyond_ parallel, and actually narrowed from the belly to the tip. Would the blades hold tightly together then? I suspect they would not even touch beyond the belly.

I think this is why flared shapes seal better, but (as I said above) the true reed-magicians seem able to make anything seal well.
