| Another distinction is that reeds need to be rigid, and that warpable and stretchable materials dont count. This is similar to the ideas of membranes vs soundboards on string instruments. I take the same solution considering both the same thing (in the case of strings, both are membranes, one rigid and the other warpable). these distinctions are just describing materials that are or near opposite sides of a spectrum. I think the only distinction is to define them by the opposites, or by the difference of the material behavior (with options in the middle being allowed to be intermediate and there being no hard cutoff). with that said there is no way to form a clear delineation between materials that easily bend and warp and ones that resist the action other than that they tend to have different timbre, and the more bendable they are the less upper harmonics they allow (a kind of self damping harmonic filter?) (then again that also happens when lips dampen the rigid material anyways) | Another distinction is that reeds need to be rigid, and that warpable and stretchable materials dont count.
