Good scientific method would dictate that if the only change is the shaping method, return to the earlier shaping method and see what you get. But in my experience, chirping on the attack is the result of an unbalanced (from blade to blade) tip, either in length or in thickness.
I doubt the tip cutter is to blame unless you are clipping an un-scraped tip where you might be flattening an inflexible arch. John Mack used to say that if you subject the cane to a bit of abuse as you make the reed it is more likely to fail in the reed making process than while it matters.
And are we talking about one mystery reed or is this a trend?
