Good tip (what a pun haha), thanks; I think I'll immediately adjust 
my way of doing it.

<<I don't generally emboss the reed tip.<<  

Neither do I. On the contrary, I "chamfer" the slot tip by taking 
away material with a small drill. This allows for an even narrower 
gap.
(I used to think this was called "tip scooping", but Pat Missin 
explained the difference somewhere in his writings.)
