To me, the crow of the reed must be at C with the lips by the thread and also with the lips at the tip, in order to play at pitch easily. My embouchure is quite relaxed and non-biting. In addition, the crow must stay at C when blowing hard or soft in order that the oboe pitch be stable and non varying.
No other crow pitch will work for me and I make reeds that crow properly before trying them. With a relaxed embouchure and reeds that crow properly, one can take a vacation from the oboe and barely notice any change in playing. I recently stopped playing for several months due to a heart operation and it was easy to resume playing afterward.
A teacher that knows how to make reeds will help but some teachers don't seem to want to work on reeds with students. Good luck!
