Hopefully someone can help me with my dilemma.
Lately I'm struggling with making my reeds being up to pitch. They're good or great in virtually every other way. A few things are ruled out:
1) They're not too long, at least not grievously. They're 69.5-70.
2) There isn't too much cane out of the heart (based on my previous experiences and suggested thickness in a variety of sources such as Martin Schuring's reed diagram).
3) The opening doesn't seem to wide.
Are there other things I could think about to bring them up? They're about 7-10 cents flat on an A. They play fantastically otherwise, so do I just need to break them in at home for an hour or two? I've been making reeds for years but this has been something of a new problem for me so I'm a little confused.
