[Harp-L] Re: Changing a reed's length and thickness



 I've been testing some different harmonica designs using sydel's configured plates and I would like to know what the effect of changing a reeds length and thickness would be.  Let's say you have a G note for a 2 hole draw.  What would be the effect of moving that G to a 3 hole draw and what would be the effect if you moved that G to the 1 hole draw?  I would think that increasing the reeds thickness by moving the G to hole #3 would shorten the reeds life since a thicker and less flexible reed would be vibrating vs a thinner and more flexible reed.  What would be the effect on the reeds tone?
