[Note: advice for short-scrape reeds!!]
Take some cane from just above the bark / below the heart, but leave the spine and the sides alone. You can take quite a lot of cane from here without affecting the response of the reed, and it does enrich the sound (Nicholas Daniel's advice from Linda Walsh's reed-making DVD). I am currently playing mainly short-scrape reeds on a Loree, and I use this advice myself.
Also, dust the sides, and corners of the tip with an incredibly sharp knife and a flat plaque. Think "remove only dust - no cane!"
That said, the Loree is a different instrument to the Marigaux. Decide to love your new sound, and don't hanker for your old one!
