Re: Why do I burble from G down?

Currently using wired U scrape Medium/Medium reeds with no problem on the Cabart.

I can try other reeds. Which parameters should I choose from the list below?

Chimney diameter (small or medium)
Staple length (46/47)
Scrape (U/W)
Wire (yes/no)
Cane shape (narrow/original)
Finished reed length (71/72/73)
Strength (H/M/MH/MS/S)

I am guessing
medium chimney, 46mm, wired, original, 71mm, MS - ?

By the way, Alphons, thanks for your thoughts. All the none burbling notes are slightly flat with the reed I have, making me think it needs to be shorter. I did cut the bottom 2mm off one of my reeds to see if it helped - it did a bit but not as much as the 68mm cheap reed. I am not sure what you mean by cutting the staple down to 42mm. Currently the bottom of the cork to the top of the cork is 30mm. From the top of the cork to the top of the reed is 42mm. Sorry to be so vague. I am very at home with single reeds, but 2 at once is a new venture to me...
