Hi,
Longer cane doesn't mean a bright quacky reed. (American Scrape) It all depends on the cane, the proportions of the reed, and as well as the diameter of the cane and other attributes.
Quacky, shrill, bright - whatever, is a reed that is unbalanced - probably more tip and the tip probably is not proportioned properly. The reed also may not have a good structure - spine and side etc.
Reed proportions are very important. I use a needle micrometer to measure the balance of the tip. Back lights and plaques do not give a very accurate assessment of tip thickness .... I measure across the entire tip of the reed.
The balancing of the reed is so tricky: Do I take more off the sides of the heart? Do I take more from the corners of the tip? Do I lightened the heart behind the tip? Do I take more off the back of the reed? Do I thin the corners of the tip? etc..... All these actions can lighted a reed and create other reed attributes as well.
