 << I had to squeeze the blades down a bit>> 
 
woe, what a difference further clarification makes !   
Thinking "too much off" has now become "not enough taken off" ... 
 
<<Forming a really round emboucher>> 
There was i imagining sides of mouth brought in, nice round O mouth, squeezing sides of reed open ... oopsie daisy, that image is all in bbbb's /:-\ 
 
Your C# and no E''' suggests a bit more wood needs to come off  
 
Yes, i'd tidy up the catch first and then make sure enough mid-bark was showing in the back between spine & rails 
 
If it's still C# after that, the heart may need shaving down tiddly bit s'more, do #####n knife for that
