Reed plates are checked with a straight edge and corrected if not flat. Reed indexing is checked and corrected. Each reed is parallel to and swings perpendicular in the slots. Spring resistance of each reed is measured and considered to establish the proper offset for the player, providing a constant playing feel from hole to hole. Reeds are accurately tuned using a state-of-the-art Peterson Autostrobe. Combs are flattened and sealed. The key signature is permanently applied to the right hand end. Cover plates are attached with screws. Corners and tines are smoothed for comfort. Covers are opened in back for projection. Reed slots are embossed for closer tolerances. Tone becomes brassier with noticeably more presence. Proprietary advanced reed work. Composite-combs only. All-screw assembly, integrated as cover plate supports. Maximum dynamics- responsive to both light breath and forceful situations. Optional double-thick reedplate for increased volume on lower keys. Maximum overbending, sustainable, no squealing. Maximum control of intonation on all bends. Maximum intonation stability of unbent notes, octaves, and chords under varying breath pressures.
