All very good advise... my 2 cents...
What is crucial is the final finished length. What most people don't consider is that tying length affects this adversely as the amount you have cut creates the final size of the opening. Without considering the use of wire (on short scrape reeds...), whether one ties longer or shorter (provided the reed seals in both cases) makes no difference on the opening. The difference in pitch is of course caused by the length difference and width of the belly. To overlap or not affects everything as well. There is much less strength when one overlaps but this can be compensated with a certain type of scraping, shaper tip as well as blowing. So flexible is the oboe (and the oboist)! My own tie length of 71.5mm (on 45mm staples) to play at 442 is almost always finished at about 71mm, no shorter! I use a fairly wide shape by most standards but the neck is narrow, but most crucial is that cutting the least as possible allows for actually using cane which has a selected diameter, if not, that would all be pointless!
