In organ reed pipes the resonator does not control the reed’s frequency

Evidence

Organ reed pipes have hard reeds, which have a narrow natural frequency range (see Figure 4.21). Unlike the air reed, the presence of a resonator does not control the frequency of vibration of the hard reed. — David M. Howard, Jamie Angus, Acoustics and Psychoacoustics, 1206
