How steep is the "roof" of your inverted V? 2mm center to 3mm sides would be at the extreme shallow end of my normal roof. My inverted V can be twice as steep as that!

When you say "thinning out the sides", do you mean lengthening the sides of the blend/shoulder into the heart, or thinning the sides of the tip, or thinning the sides of the heart?

Freeing up the vibrations is essential - if the reed is tight and stuffy you will often be tempted to remove cane from all the wrong areas to get it vibrating. In David Webber's reed manual his method begins by creating a very long tip that sounds raucous and flat, but sure-as-hell vibrates! And then he refines from there. Brilliant.
