I agree with Mark that buzzy, bright sounds generally come from the tip.
When was the last time you sharpened your knife? :-)
With a really sharp knife, dust the tip from blend to corners. Straighten up and go straight off the reed with the grain at the extreme edge. Use a wet flat plaque, raked lighting, and backlighting, to make sure the tip grades evenly from the blend to the extreme tip.
This should smooth out the tone (get rid of buzziness), but it may still be brighter than you like and (more importantly) the pitch may drop and it may get a bit too soft ..
Then clip it a hair to get back up to pitch, and re-examine the extreme tip for areas of thickness (which must be evened out).
