Well I tried a single wrapping of wire on another American scrape reed today, stopping the wire just before the back-most part of the scrape. So, its not 5 mm up the cane but more like 3 1/2.
Good things happened for the reed which I thought was a little anemic in the low range. It somehow put some desirable body of sound and even good response on low articulations.
So, then I went back to the reed from yesterday and replaced the double wrap of wire with a single wrap.
Using your nudge it up technique while tightening the wire, sure enough it holds its place on the cane.
Thanks for that!
Now, onto experiment with the 25 reeds in my queue of 100 that seem to show some of that same anemia.
There are probably more variables at play than I realize, but after this brief success with the first two reeds, I find something to be very encouraged about in this topic.
