Joseph -
If I ran into this problem, I would first suspect that the reed was badly
out of balance. Have you balanced the reeds?

Subject: [kl] "Buzzy" sound ...
Hi all,
A little problem I had recently - I was trying out some new reeds recently
and had a rather annoying experience - I had found one reed which blew
beautifully, sounded great in the lower register, *but* - when played loud
in the upper register there was a horrible "buzzy" sound at loud dynamic
levels, rather like some high frequencies being too prominent in the sound.
I've noticed a similar effect on other reeds, but less marked, which makes
me think it might be me and not the reed.
Any suggestions (e.g. embouchure) that might explain this?
Cheers,
-- Joe
