EH reeds are surprisingly much more forgiving than oboe reeds. Compared to my oboe reeds, which are still a horrible work in progress, I've only made a few EH reeds and almost all of them are playable. And no matter how much I scrape they still sound okay (and more or less in tune). I use wire, otherwise they are too open, though. You really need to play with a very open embouchure, so squeezing the reed is a bad bad thing.

That being said, I was making some awful noises when I all of a sudden had to play EH in band at a high level. Well, not so much the blowing but the fingering (everything was like in A-flat major). Blasted finger spacings is still rather wide for my hands. Getting past that (except for the damned low C# a left Eb), it's a treat to play.
