Re: the "Eternal Chirp"

Okay ... some relief at last.

My teacher took a look at the reed and two adjustments were made:

The center tip was cut down to less than 2mm (my tips are 2 mm or so at center and 3 mm sides).

More importantly the sides of the blend were scraped to permit the vibrations to move towards the back of the reed. The crow with the chirps present lacked sufficient lower vibrations.

So the cutting and reforming tip with a more removed from the sides of the reed/blend removed the chirps. (Interestingly, I also made progress removing the chirps from thinning out the heart).

So by bringing out the lower vibrations and freeing up the reed by thinning out the sides and having a slightly shorter tip resolved the problem chirps.
