I managed to view the videos after I re-started the system, my bad, should have thot of that earlier.
The crow is a good crow, and agree on the stability that it should sound the same from piano to forte. That is something one has to strive for to make a good reed. I dont know if u agree, to get this stability, getting the "scrape" symmetry along the reed and on both sides, is key.
Your Bach, didnt sound metallic to me unless you meant the scratchiness of the sound especially in your high notes. Nevertheless, without professional equipment, great job.
Everyone becomes jaded after a while at a job, you are not the only one. I was an engineer in the 80s, the peak of technogical innovations and in Si Valley. Those were very exciting times for me, at least. For me, retiring from my job after 25 years, and going back to music and other things makes me like a kid again, discovering new things about the oboe, reed making etc etc. I dont spend all my time tinkering but I derive the most pleasure from it. I dont blame u for feeling the way u do.
