I finally found the right reed for me. I can finally blow it freely without effort. response is fast. sharp piercing. you can play with a lot of melismas. The entire range from the bottom to the very top sounds freely without much effort. on the surface there is a pile similar to that of wooden reed . and it gives overtones. such dirt. which is what I like. You can play with any nuances. Unlike other reeds, you can play both quietly intimately and loudly brightly juicy. After playing, I also noticed a certain plastic sound. but be that as it may, plastic is plastic and it will never be able to perfectly imitate a real wooden reed. For me it feels like it’s not 1.5, it’s 2.0. In general, the reed is ideal for me.
