Regarding "tying too tight" - I'm with you there.

Note that this is only relevant for the topmost two or three turns of thread. You can pull as tight as you like further down and this is probably a good thing, since it will prevent split ends from travelling higher up the cane.

A guide to thread tightness is how thin it looks once you've completed the wrap.

Note that a bassoon reed (think "oboe big brother") has no staple at all. The thread and wires hold the throat of the reed firmly open with the sides sealing all the way up, but without crushing. This is what we are trying to achieve with our thinner, more delicate cane.
