You split the reed, just get some beer and go see him again, he will make you a new reed and fix it right up. You want it to be easy to blow? He can do dat, he once made one for a guy with one lung.
I was hunting at Gueydan hunting club a few years ago and I was talking to one of the guides about how I didn't like how my chien caille was sounding. The guide told me," The guy that makes them only lives a few miles up the road. On your way out stop by and shoot the breeze with him and he will fix you up." Sure enough I went to his house, he trimmed on my reed, and got it sounding perfect. He even gave me a few tips on calling. I need to go see him again. My reed is cracked.
