Reed Flexibility

Hi,

Another question. I am currently experimenting a bit with my reeds.

My tips are shorter and I take more cane from the heart, blend and sides.

The windows/spine overall length and tie are about the same as before.

This is my experience so far with a new approach.

I have all good things: round warm tone, great pitch stability, core projection, less spread etc ... except I have less "flexibility".

It is quite noticeable when playing quick staccato passage which require a bit of finesse.

And the reeds require more stamina to play.

Suggestions to increase flexibility without losing the above qualities?

Thanks

Mark
