If the reed is sounding sometimes, mostly when you play softly, then it 
most likely needs re-setting.  In other words, the reed tip is most likely 
not set high enough.
This is easy to alter, (adjust the reed until it looks the same distance 
from the plate as the ones next to it.)

Hope this helps
