Hi ... Welcome to Reed making .............. headaches

There are many ways of loosening up a reed. Each will have a different impact upon the response and tone.

For example, thinning the corners of the tip blend, scrapping lightly on the tip blend, scraping the sides of the heart, fanning the tip, or scraping/deepening the windows etc............ You need to try them all .... lots of trial and error here.

One most frustrating aspects of certain reeds is the hard/flat reed ... you cut to bring up the pitch and scrape to make it responsive. It can become a vicious cycle. If squeezing the opening closed doesn't work etc. Many times I just throw the reed out. It's just not worth the time or effort.
