Audio is a recording that I made using the reed made in the video. Making synthetic reeds from plastic Slurpee cups. I have tried different plastics from bottles etc. but the Slurpee cup was thick enough and very soft so it vibrates well.
One thing that I didn't mention in the video was that the placement of the 5th wire (on the blade) affects the reed like a spine on the cane reeds. Placing the wire closer to the tip is good for high notes, but plays sharp; further from the tip is lower in pitch and easy response. No wire on the blade at all is a good Zarathustra reed!
