                TASK 2: Determine reed count (reed number)

                1  Take one reed and place it in the straight position.  4  Calculate the dents in 2 inch (Fig 2)
                2  Now put the measuring tape in your hand.            Fig.2
                3  Take the measurement of the reed with measuring
                   tape. (Fig 1)

                 Fig.1

                                                                      5  If the dents will be 40 the reed count is 40.
                                                                      6  Likewise measure all the reeds and write the reed
