Re: Great reeds but a little flat?

You might be making the windows in the back too deep too soon. Consider removing only the shiny upper layer of bark and no more from the area behind the heart until quite late in your adjustment phase. Be sure the rest of the reed is balanced and has a good basic response and only then, bit by bit, make the windows thinner.

Another possibility is that the gouger blade is dull. This has the effect of flattening the overall pitch of reeds.

Personally I have not had good results with shortened tubes.
