Pipe Organ Reed Pipe

thingiverse

I was itching for something new to try out and decided to take on the challenge of creating a 3D printable reed pipe with varied resonators. The reed had to be crafted from a thin sheet of metal, ideally brass, but since I had a small piece of zinc lying around, I used that instead. This metal sheet needed to be slightly curved, as evident in two of the pictures attached, and not bent too much or too little, because it would affect the pipe's tone. A M3 screw kept the reed securely in place. To hold the resonators atop the pipe, a simple adhesive tape was used.
