All signs of soft cane, taking the assumption that you really had a good batch from last time. Typical of short scrape reeds... 2nd the suggestion to try David Cowdy's reeds. David is very professional, and economically speaking, there is no reason not to do it for the fact that you live in the UK and could just drop by his workplace if something is not right. Ke Xun (K.Ge.) Reeds are very good... and in my knowledge he supplies a huge amount of reeds to the UK. I do not believe that there is anyone else in the world that knows short scrape reeds like K. Ge does. On the other hand, his factory in Shanghai produces so many reeds nowadays that consistency becomes an issue. There is after all only that much good cane in the world. Demand for good reeds still triumph the supply of good reeds....
