Fernie, It's funny you should mention this. Ridenour did a series of Youtube videos last year on French Embouchure that were actually as much or more about working with reeds in just the way you describe. He talks about balancing the reed front to back as well as side to side. When I started to incorporate this methodology it made a huge positive difference to me that I still marvel over.
