Although I too await a back lit picture . . .

Is it correct to assume that you play on a typical american scrape -- i.e. a thin tip with an inverted v at its base, followed by a thick heart and slightly thinner back?

Try taking a little bit less out of the back on your next reed -- especially in the "window" area behind the heart. While scraping these areas enhance lower frequency vibrations and can contribute to a darker sound, they can also cause sagging pitch if taken too far.

Just a thought. Good luck!
