Why fight with the reeds? The easy fix would be to buy a longer bocal. If you're currently playing on a No. 1, then try out some No. 2 length bocals. Or, if you're playing on a No. 2, then try some No. 3s. You might find a bocal you like even better for its tone, intonation, projection, and altissimo register. I recommend the commercially available Hiniker and Lorée Etoile bocals, but if you can find a pre-owned Symer, Glover, or Laubin, those can be awesome as well.
