It might be an incorrect overlap...but it seems to happen with all the reeds of the same color thread (i.e. by the same maker), perphaps I should try a different color??? It also seems to happen after a week or so with every reed...maybe it is something I am inadvertantly doing??? I have not hit the reed, or done anything to make it crack (to my knowledge ). I am too new to the oboe to begin making reeds, but am rapidly progressing. I have started to learn about adjusting reeds in my lessons at the university, but I don't have any first hand experience. I will try to take it to my professor and have him take a look at it, once he is available to set up a lesson time. It still plays fine... Thanks for all the great suggestions!!! Clayton
