Making Reeds

My wind side of my instrument needs some fanciffinification. So I decided to make reeds.

Version 1: a quick visit to wikipedia gave me an impression of what a reed looks like so i went out into the garden to go get bamboo which was subequently segmented and splitted then whittled down to a flat surface

Revison A: A small channel was added to try and coax the wind down the middle.

Version 2: after working out that physics dont just dont work that way and seeing a premade one I found out its meant to get blowed into, not out. I added a wedge like shape at the rear so that there could be the natural channel down the middle, a final wounding of thread to keep them together and the reed was ready

posible future refinements if the sound isn't how I want it.
