If you can make your model reed compensate for your machine’s individual characteristics, great but .20mm is too much of a differential to work with. There just isn’t enough material on a reed’s tip to compensate…

The tip is where everything begins. It is crucial that your ‘dual create accurate tips that are balanced and ready to play. That is the point of the machine…to accurately create copies of your model reed quickly and easily. I have come to accept the fact that no two ‘duals are the same (my model reed that creates good results on my machine may not work well on another machine) but once you have made a good model for your machine, you should be able to produce beautiful balanced reeds that have good tips.

With experience, good balanced reeds should be an easy thing to achieve. If this is not possible (absent much handwork) then your machine may be out of adjustment.

Perhaps you could send it back to George and have him look it over.
