Proper articulation and embouchure is required to cover the full range, but it is reachable with ease. Print with as high quality in Z as your printer and heatbed cover allows. I printed reeds with Z-layer 0.04 mm and initial layer 0.12 mm. This provided 6 layers for 0.32 mm tip thickness and smooth surface. The reed shouldn't be sand-papered, since it already has required vamp profile. It may be post-processed with acetone (since this model is for ABS only by design), but I did not try acetoning myself. Updates: - UPD1 reed 2.5 is replaced with better balanced reed of even hardness between low and high register. Now lowest notes of low register play with less efforts and they are better articulated. High register is more bright than before.
