 Re: the "Eternal Chirp"

Okay ... I made some new reeds and the "chirps" are back ... mostly in the notes above octave C. Although it seems to start strongly at the octave C.

I must admit I am going a little mad. I thought it might have been a slightly wider shaper tip; however, the problem persists with my original shape.

I never had this persistent problem in all my years of playing ... and I don't understand why now?

I have managed to tame the chirp (blending the heart better ... smoothing out the tip etc) but not completely eliminate it in the upper registers. It's not the Oboe since my old reeds play just fine. No chirps.

If I could identify the problem ... then at least I could fix it. None of my reed techniques seem to eliminate the problem.

I am open to any and all suggestions.

How do I narrow down the variables to find the culprit here?

Mark
