If you haven't tried them yet, I suggest switching to Legere reeds or finding another synthetic reed that works for you (there are others here who rate Forestone reeds very highly).

I too used to spend several hours a day messing around with cane, trying to make it work. I read books on reed altering, asked and got advice from professionals, etc., but even as a professional myself I was never satisfied. Then I tried Legeres, switched from Buffets and Selmers to playing Wurlitzers (instead of doing the constant searching for "the" barrel or "the" mouthpiece) and have never looked back.

Now it is about making music, not messing with equipment.
