Dear Karl,
I find the fulcrum as it pertains to actually playing, by taking the mouthpiece into my mouth. And just to clarify, I don't say that you control the uncontrollable, but rather that you need to know where that is by feel. For example, I have just gone to another Fobes mouthpiece (they are all WONDERFUL by the way) that is different only in that the facing is 3mm longer than the previous Fobes. Being really habituated to the "feel" of the 14mm facing, I have to poke up to the "squawk" more often in the last few days just to make sure I am playing the current 17mm mouthpiece to its full potential.
And NO, I would never recommend choking up on a harder reed. The solution in that scenario is to change to a softer reed, period.
