Well, tying extra long didn't seem to help. I pretty much needed to trim back to a reasonable length tip anyway. I will go back to the longer side of the range my teacher gave me.

One thing I am struggling with is where to scrape initially to get a reed to start crowing and peeping. Frequently I get the tip looking OK, the tip defined, and start scraping blend and heart, but get no sound.

Should the heart be scraped flat across between rails and spine, or keep a rounded contour?
