Hi,
I absolutely agree!!!! It seems like across the board, regardless of the
manufacturer, stock D's tend to be very problematic, and the only way to get
a long slot D is from a good customizer.

One exception is the Hohner MS series reedplates.  The current key of D MS
reedplates, indeed all the MS series high key reedplates/reeds, have the
same measurements as the earlier MS "long slot" reedplates (whatever MS
model you prefer), and the current day MS long slot reedplates have even
longer reeds.   So it follows that you won't have those problems with todays
Hohner MS reedplates.
