The W-A3 model is identical in design to the A2, except
for the tuning, which is either
in G/D, or F/C. The
parallel reed pans
allow for optimal chamber dimensions, which results in a full, rich sound.
The lowest reed of the long scaling used in this instrument is 46mm/ 1.81 inch
long. None of the reeds have weights added to the tip of the reed.
