Hello Elizabeth,
With an overlap, for some strange reason that i cannot explain, the lower register refuses to speak with a short scrape. If i tie and make sure that it doesn't overlap, it is almost impossible to make it overlap afterwards. In the past i have had no problems with overlapping reeds working with short scrape, but only when the cane is absolutely perfect....
As advised, i bought 45mm glotin copies...i tried filing shorter 47mm staples i had, but the clamp/vile i had basically deformed the shape of the staple so much that it was not possible to have it perfectly in the mandrel anymore, making the results very doubtful. I achieved a very dark sound with the big shape and the big staple for some reason gave a more stable high register, but intonation is strange in certain areas and that is certainly because of the deformation that exists in my own modification work. Hope the professionally shortened 45mm staples will prove to be a final solution if not stable formula.
Regards,
Howard
