side_curv = 0
reed_vamp_radius8 = 15
reed_vamp_radius7 = 20
reed_vamp_radius6 = 25
reed_vamp_radius5 = 35

This is full range reed for Soprano Saxophone Bb with concerto range A3b-E6 (frequency range 207-1318 Hz). Proper articulation and embouchure is required to cover the full range, but it is reachable with ease.
Print with as high quality in Z as your printer and heatbed cover allows. I printed reeds with Z-layer 0.04 mm and initial layer 0.12 mm. This provided 3 layers for 0.2 mm tip thickness and smooth surface. The reed shouldn't be sand-papered, since it already has required vamp profile. It may be post-processed with acetone (since this model is for ABS only by design), but I did not try acetoning myself.
Updates:
01/01/2018 - Added modified 2.0 hardness reed. It is more reliable in highest notes, and 0.1mm thicker. Added modified 2.25 hardness reed. It is +0.1mm thicker than 2.0. Added 2.5 hardness reed.
01/03/2018 - Added 3.0, 3.5 hardness reeds.
