I know you're not suppose to cut off the lower end of the staple as it's said to be actually removing a small section of the bore as it were and cause intonation problems. The bottom end of the staple is approx 4.5 mm wide and the top end of the Oboe's bore is approx 4.0 mm. You'd think therefore that by cutting off , say 1/2 to 3/4 cm off the lower end of the staple would match up the Oboe bore diameter with the staple bore diameter. No doubt there is some mysterious acoustical reason why this is not recommended but I've had reeds that I've made that are on the flat side of A440 and have shortened the stable to raise the pitch with no noticeable problems with the Oboe's stability. Or perhaps my ear is more tolerant to pitch problems than what others would hear.
