Andrew,
Before trying anything, clip miniscule amounts off the tip. This may bring the reed right up to pitch. Nothing larger than the thickness of a human hair, please. If that doesn't work, then try more drastic measures. Use a very sharp single edge razor blade & a block (billot, in French). It may take half a dozen tries, but after about the third or fourth clip you should notice a marked difference, what with the reed going gradually sharper. Good luck.
Best,
john
