 The Oboe BBoard

I am a 73-year-old who hasn't played in 40+years. Back then I managed to make half-decent reeds with the long scrape.
This time I gave up on the long scrape after about 50 attempts using several manuals and DVDs. I am at least 100 miles from any teacher.
Using the short scrape, I produced 69 mm reeds that peeped a "C", crowed a "C", and played a "C" in tune in the oboe, with good dynamics and sound.
However, at the first band rehearsal, after sustained playing, the reeds all gave in and went embarrassingly flat. I used both 47 and 46 1/2 mm staples and tied on at 73mm. There were no leaks.
Any observations would be appreciated.
