Profile Dimensions

The profiled area of each piece of cane is 32mm from bark to fold.

The profile tapers from .95mm at the back to .65mm at the critical point, there is a secondary taper to .50mm at the fold. This is the profile that comes on all reed blanks.

Tip profiled blanks taper from .65mm at the critical point .30mm at the tip.

Finished reeds taper to .15mm at the very tip and other measurements may differ due to the adjusting process.

Finished reeds have a tube of 28mm and a blade of 27-28mm, for a total length of 55-56mm

This allows for the use of a variety of cane hardnesses with room for adjustment, and creates a strong and flexible reed.
