Ermmm.... I'm not sure where this sideline into flatness has come from! I'm not generally worried about being flat (if anything I err towards sharpness higher up - I'm fully aware that this is me not the reed). There is one note on my oboe, the C, that sags a lot (checked out by Howarths at least twice - they say there's nothing more they can do), but apart from that, flatness is not my issue here!
Howard, I mean the D and E at the top of the staff. If I was only losing tone an octave about that, I would be happy!
Mark, I remember reading that thin tips are desirable... But maybe I'm overdoing it. Hmmm. I'll try scraping less from the centre for a while.
