Reedmaking is a "process" with guidelines, but you have to ultimately realize it is a nuanced thing. Every piece of cane has a different personality almost. I have only even owned a knife for like 5 months but I am totally on all my own reeds and have been for a while. So, not everyone here is an expert but I can still make reeds to play and perform on. The pitch is always solid, but I always end up with something that is warm but way too stiff or way too free and bright. I can't find a balance there. But as far as making reeds that play, I'm there.

Maybe just try making your tip a bit longer.
