This is the third report to this list, including mine, that said the draw 3 reed on a Firebreath sounded weak.  It's starting to look like a trend.

I now own 6 Firebreaths, and they have a superior sound, to the point that you can really hear the difference even on tracks recorded with an amp.  But I have made a point of gapping and embossing all of them, and I paid a lot of attention to the draw 3 reed on every one of them.
