Cooper, it's that gnarly, growly, raucous sound when you crow at a fortissimo strength on the thread near or at the top of the cork. The lows win out against the highs. A roar combined with a high pitched scream might be one way of describing it. With your superb & highly refined reeds, I don't know if that is something you shoot for, but all my reeds have it to one degree or another. Bottom line is, it's a most obnoxious sound & and as has been indicated on this forum & in the literature, only one of many indicators in the quest for a perfect reed. Joe Shalita has a recording of the "ideal" crow in his online reed manual; David Crispin markets the hard copy book including the CD which contains same.
Best,
john
