Re: A reed playing too sharp?

I recently made an oboe d'amore reed (using those Guerico with oboe-size cork) staples and stuck it in my oboe. Works great! Somewhat sharp, especially on the 2nd octave keys (this is fine by me, my Loree usually plays those notes flat!) but no sign of instability whatsoever.

In this case, it is not possible to pull out the staple. I'll try a few other tricks. But my point is that there is a lot of empty space between the bottom of the staple and this did not affect stability or anything. I suppose I can try your tubing technique and see if that will solve the sharp 2nd octave key notes.
