Recorder V2.3 (new Mouthpiece)

Description
The recorder is one of the oldest woodwind instruments. In the hands of an experienced player it creates a sound synonymous with Renaissance music. Often used in elementary music classes because of it's ease of operation. With 3D printing everyone can have one of their own to make beautiful music on... or wailing screeches if they never got past "hot crossed buns".
Instructions
2. Sharpen the edge of the lip to a fine point.
3. Assemble.
4. Twist the foot to adjust for comfortable pinky finger placement.
5. The top of the body and the mouthpiece is connected with a longer connecter to allow for some tuning.
6. Note that if you start with all holes covered and remove them one-by-one that the high notes are going to sound flat. That is normal. To get the proper tones for all the notes use the key chart on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recorder#Recorder_fingering .

I just printed this for the first time, but it didn't make a sound. I noticed it was quite leaky so I used acetone glue on the inside of the mouthpiece to seal it up better.
IT WORKS NOW!
Overhang issue is fixed but the sound that comes out of it isn't all that great. Any advice for settings? Also has anyone thought of making a

Yes, I make fifes and flutes and such. The flute mouthpiece is just a hole, and much easier to get right than a recorder.
You need to sharpen the edge of the lip to a fine point. Also the mouthpiece itself never makes a very good sound until the body is added.
The one successful print was doing with nearly 100% infill (99% apparently).
And yes, I'm researching fifes. Also, if I manage to win the new museum challenge I'm making a kazoo. 3D printed orchestra HO!
