Have a feeling this is going to be a trial and error thing, but...
Have 5 old reeds 2, 2.5, 3. Dont need any reeds, have plenty of good ones, but trying to learn. Wet 5 minutes, rub on paper and down vamp to seal and polish. Play a scale E3-C6 and a song . E3 to Bb4 sound good to fair. Going from Bb4 to B4 and C5 squawks. C5 to C6 sounds good. Have tried to control embouchure tighter when changing notes, and to not move, and to finger correctly. This doesnt help much-going to high register I have to try the note a few times to get it right. When right it sounds OK. My options are to move reed side to side, up and down, tighten or loosen ligature, or move lig up and down. Some of this improves but not a sure fix. Not sure how to analyze. Could this be warpage and would sanding, shaving or trimming be indicated? Tried to look through tip with backlight to decide if too thick anywhere. Tried rotating side to side to see if one side vibrates better. Center of vamp cut to tip ranges 27-32 mm. Didnt measure thickness but could. I just dont know what to try next and was hoping for some suggestions because I am puzzled, or need more practice. Welcome any suggestions. They sound good enough for my needs when work but the squawks are what I cant figure out. Any suggestions welcome. Could just throw them away, but would like to learrn and develop skills at adjusting.
