Generally, whether I have made a long or short scrape reed, they have been relatively stable. When they are not, I have taken too much wood out of the heart area or perhaps too much of the back of the blend, and that affects either the F, F# or G in the second octave. This seldom happens and I discard such reeds ( the very few I do discard). On saying that, I aim for quite a bit of flexibility in the intonation, allowing me to adjust easily. My oboe, and old 1930s Louis locks into the note pretty well, so any adjustment can be done in a microsecond.
