Thinning the sides of the heart into the tip blend and thinning the sides of the heart. Emphasis on the first. Also you can thin out the heart (sand paper) if the reed is a bit stuffy afterwards.

2mm is the length of the tip from the heart/blend center. 3mm is the length of the tip sides from heart/blend to end of tip. My teachers tip less than 2mm ... it is 1.5 mm at center.

I find a tip that a short can be a bit harder to blow ... however, the sound projects well - is very /stable/centered/focused and round ... even though up close it sounds a but stuffy to the ear. My teacher says the reed will loosen up with playing over time. Usually, I make a playable reed free blowing reed right away ... so this is a new process for me.
