Robin,

You make an excellent point!

It's difficult finding the balance between more depth in tone and flexibility.

Another negative to a wider shape is I find less response with articulation in the upper register too.

The solo passage in in Holst's Jupiter which requires a little finesse and ease ... I found more difficult to play/articulate up to speed with the wider shaped tip. The response was more sluggish as compared to reeds made with a narrower shape.

I will experiment and see where it leads me. But ease of playing with a comfortable/relaxed embouchure is important as is also response in articulation in the upper register.
