where does the reed go on a clarinet?
resonant chamber
the fixed reed and fairly uniform diameter of the clarinet give the instrument an acoustical behavior approximating that of a cylindrical stopped pipe. recorders use a tapered internal bore to overblow at the octave when the thumb/register hole is pinched open, while the clarinet, with its cylindrical bore, overblows at the twelfth. adjusting the angle of the bore taper controls the frequencies of the overblown notes (harmonics). changing the mouthpiece's tip opening and the length of the reed changes aspects of the harmonic timbre or voice of the clarinet because this changes the speed of reed vibrations. generally, the goal of the clarinetist when producing a sound is to make as much of the reed vibrate as possible, making the sound fuller, warmer, and potentially louder.

in "what if doctor doom had become the thing?" #1 (february 2005), doom befriends reed richards during their college days, and ben is left out. dropping out of college, ben joins the army. doom and reed go ahead with their experimental rocket. when the cosmic rays turn doom into a thing-like creature, he attacks reed, sending him into a gamma bomb test site, where ben is stationed. ben saves reed from the bomb's radiation, but is transformed into a hulk-like creature. calling himself "grimm", he fights and defeats doom. after reed calms him down, ben joins him in forming the fantastic four.
