I would call that a very short tip, but have had some very good reeds built that way depending on the cane.

The original question was about flexibility and in my experience a reed with your dimensions could be very stable, have a great tone, but perhaps you'd like more responsiveness.

I'd scrape a little more out of the blend to do that. Basically blend the tip into the heart over another mm or 1.5 mm.

If pitch flexibility is part of the question, that should help there as well.

I don't mean so flexible you can accommodate people playing 1/4 tone sharp or flat. But rather, to adjust a few thirds or 7ths to a little purer than equal temperament tuning or fix a unison a few cents worth here and there.

Nice looking reed, though. I wonder if BBOARD allows sound files as well as pics, perhaps mp3s?
