Tube, Blade, and Wire Measurements

The total length of a finished reed is between 55 and 56mm.

Each reed and blank is made with a tube length of 28mm.

The first wire is placed 33mm from the fold (27mm from the butt to the top of the wire)

The second wire is placed 8mm from the first when measured from the center of both wires.

The third wire measurement is less critical, but is around 3mm from the butt.

4mm is cut from the fold when clipping the tip, making the blade length 28mm from the collar or 29mm from the top of the first wire.

The collar is 1mm from the top of the first wire.
