Hi Robert,
I would consider 69 to be very short for a short scrape reed. Most of mine are around 71 (I tie at 73 on a 47 staple), and I suspect that 69 would be much too sharp on my setup, and most of my colleagues use similar figures to me.
A couple of questions...
What shape are you using? Too wide a shape for your scrape might produce the kinds of results you are getting.
What length is your scrape?
What length are you tying at?
What gouge are you using? Keep in mind that the gouge for short and long scrape is very different - the difference in thickness between the side and the centre is greater on a short scrape gouge. Perhaps the cane you are using has been gouged for long scrape reeds.
Just a few considerations at first...I suspect that if the reeds are playing fine but are just flat that it is a gear issue rather than a scrape issue, but it could be a bit of both.
