I've been experiencing so much frustration with reeds lately. I used to have a smooth, silky, dark sound that I absolutely loved, but I don't feel that's quite the case any more. My tone has just been really really, uncontrollably bright and buzzy lately and it's getting kind of depressing to be honest. I find myself gripping onto the reed with my embouchure trying to dampen some of the vibrations and it's just leading to stamina and pitch issues. I usually scrape out of the back quite a bit, but it doesn't help very much. The reeds I buy are handmade, medium strength reeds. Should I try a harder reed, or could something else be the issue here?
Thanks!
