What is the difference between traditional reed blanks and thick reed blanks?

Blank thickness relates to the thickness of the cane wall that a reed blank is cut from. A thicker blank reed will contain more cane wall material--you can physically see this at the heel of the reed. You may also be able to hear a tonal difference and physically feel a difference between various blank thicknesses.
