Advanced--Plays Most days--Used 2-5 reedmakers--Reedmaking: Buy but adjust

I ordered 3 professional reeds and got 4! All are easy to play with excellent response, particularly in the low register. Very consistent from reed to reed with a very finished look and feel. One major complaint – they all play appreciably flat and require a good deal of “lipping” and careful, consistent breath control (not a bad thing, I guess) to put them where they belong pitch-wise. Mark ( the maker) may have made these a bit more open than normal for me – and thus flatter (?), as I told him that live in a high, dry desert climate. Very nice reeds, overall.
