Hi just one more thought.
I found that one approach to the problem is to use a wider shape, for example, the Lucarelli shaper tip ... and then take a emery board to the sides.
In essence you create your own shape ... to your specifications.
I've done this with two reeds - the outcome was not too bad.
Why not! We scrape, clip, tie, gouge, etc........ why not adjust the sides as well as needed/required?
Of course - just using one shape probably is much less a hassle!
Didn't Howard mention that his teacher shapes his cane by hand.
