I didn't take your post as a complaint. That was my original point, too. If it worked, I can't sit however many (thousands of?) miles away and say "it can't have been the cause." I wouldn't expect a single-note symptom like that to be a result of a general flaw in a player's technique, either. So I asked Vanroy to clarify whether or not he had tried changing where his tongue was hitting the reed and, if he had, did the change stop the squeaking. If it did, the discussion is over.

Vanroy, unfortunately, hasn't come back to talk about his results or what change he made to achieve it.
