This is the reed design I grew up with before 'windows' became part of the obligatory architecture. It's how many of us made reeds back in the 60's...
If you think of the entire back as one large window, then you simply scrape the entire back thinner, leaning into the rear of it a little more heavily as the heart arrives at it's ideal thickness (as determined by resistance and response). If you don't want to thin the heart more but still want more low end response you can either lengthen the scrape (although too much of that will cause your upper octave G & G# to become flabby) or scrape more deeply in the rear. Or you can scrape the rear with a catch, now called a window...
The 3-window style is interesting because each of the 3 locations has its own, distinct effect with just a light touch of the knife. Worth playing with just to explore that effect. Take a windowless reed and try it...
