I wish there was one way to properly make reeds, but there isn't. My reeds often don't crow a C, and my former teacher's didn't either. She was in the San Diego Symphony (and still is, to my knowledge). I sometimes have reeds that crow below a C and can be played in tune, and reeds that crow C that can play flat. The crow is diagnostic of a great many things, but the correlation with pitch in the instrument is not straightforward.
