Right - I just gave mine a quick play-test with a tuner and the top notes are bang on, so they've definitely addressed that issue since the trials.

It's a very responsive reed and all the notes from the low Bb to altissimo speak cleanly and easily.

Only I find the tone very dark and I'm just concerned how hard I'll have to work in a band or orchestral setting. So I'll get a chance tomorrow at a rehearsal to see how it performs in anger.

It hasn't got the sparkle my cane reeds have, but I'm not disappointed with the sound. I'll experiment with different embouchures to see what works best. The resistance is a bit higher than my cane reeds, but not unworkable.

If it all works out well, then I'll order another one as they do suggest you get more than one and rotate them regularly to prolong their playing life. As they cost around ten times that of your average reed, accidents permitting, I hope they last around ten times your average cane reed lasts for.
