 Re: over-soaking reeds?

Robin, your style of reed making seems to describe the old Dutch way of making reeds. Do your reeds look anyway similar to these? http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/download.html?10,77/P1020850.JPG and http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/download.html?10,78/P1020877.JPG?

I have been recently making my scrapes longer and longer to achieve a kind of ease which has in turned sabotaged me because in a traditional short scrape kind of style this affects the stability of the higher register (and of course makes the pitch go down!). How do you counter this? Do you overlap your reeds? I find that overlapping is not a solution for me as this makes the pitch often too high for me/creates an internal volume too small for a warm enough sound for my own personal taste.

Regards,
Howard
