Sound is terrible. Might be my tuning skills. Just tried to duplicate the original reeds length and dog ears.

Did you look at the reeds to see what way they curled before you put them in? I use the same reeds in all of the calls, never even looked at width. Never had a difference. You cant just match them up though it doesnt work, I wish it did but it doesnt.

Single or double you have to look at the reeds and make sure the natural bend is up at the end or they will never sound right.

Check it...

Used the flick across the table technique.

Dont know, flip it and see if it's better or worse. if it's no different try a few other reeds. Cut them different lengths but dont dog them until you get the length right. go through everyone of those reeds till you either get one you like or dont. Then check your PM's for further instructions....
