I tried it and didn't like what it did to the tone of the harp - made it sound sort of raspy or husky. I found this outweighed any minimal gain in reed response.

Rupert Oysler's harp repair & maintenance DVD / CD ROM shows good pictures of how he does it. His website is harprepair.com.
I'd be interested in a show of hands here on Harp-L - how many of us actually use tip scooping to good advantage?
