The reed must vibrate freely which it doesn't do when one bites hard on it. When it can vibrate freely, the reed and the oboe tend to play in the pitch that the oboe was built for. One must face the need for careful work with the reed knife to scrape the reed into submission. There are good books on reed work such as the Jay Light book on American scrape reeds but I've never seen a book on European scrape reeds. In your area, you probably expect to play on European scrape reeds but, in America, we would not do that.
