Antoine,

Take it back to the repair person if the problem seems to be present with
more than one reed. It could be a "singing" pad (covering is loose or torn
and vibrating, it could be a spring or a key with a little play where it's
mounted on the instrument ("lost motion") or any of several other things,
including some possible problem that has developed around the crack repair.
It's almost certainly a minor problem, but if you don't know what you're
looking for, you'll waste a lot of time and risk a lot of frustration trying
to figure something out that a trained tech can find and fix in a matter of
minutes.

Happy New Year everyone!

Karl Krelove
