That's a good one!
But I'm trying to understand why reeds vibrate independently. If you put the bottom reed plate on the top and vice versa, the blow reeds switch to draw reeds and vice versa. But, the direction of air flow relative to reed direction doesn't change.
I'm probably not explaining my question clearly. Let me try this: Whats goin on in there? How does it woik?
