Max -- there are so many possible variables at work here that it would be difficult to identify the particular source of your problems. I am certain that the other Boarders will contribute their insights. Let's just start at the beginning by looking at the cane you are using. Is it all from the same batch, and are you selecting the pieces yourself for gauging? That initial selection process can make a difference. Some cane is inherently hard and some soft (often detectable by the tightness of the fibers, sometimes the color, and how the cane curls off in the gauging process), and some pieces have a natural opening (measured with a radius gauge on the tube cane) which is larger or smaller. A wider opening will produce a flatter reed than one which is otherwise made the same but has a smaller opening. If you can describe your supply of cane, then maybe one of the Boarders can work with that information to help you further.
