generally, poor cane will give you both of those characteristics. Usually, that means cane that is too soft, or too hard.
If you remove too much cane out of the heart or back, that can also give you hard+flat/soft+sharp, depending on the cane.

To remedy that, it's always best to remove too little cane, and then have to remove more, than be stuck clipping an over-scraped reed.

For "early on" remedies, I would suggest that you *just* remove the bark from the areas of the reed where it will need to go anyway. Then, start at the very end of the tip and work your way back. Work only the end of the tip for a bit, then move further down to loosen the reed even more. Then go back to the end. Keep moving further back until the reed is loose enough to play, then go back to the end again.

This way, you avoid removing too much cane from the heart or back.
