 This is the  best I can describe my current reed problem - 
 
I made a reed that was a bit flat, raucus, and blew too easily.  To "fix" the problem, I clipped the tip.  I then redid the tip a bit to focus the tone and the reed plays a smidge better but still isn't right and the crow has a horrid *REALLY* high squeak to it.  Forming a really round emboucher makes it play a C but the crow itself is bad. 
 
What would you do next?  What causes this high squeak?   
 
Thanks in advance for any input.
