When setting the profile of your reed (gaping), use your thumb nail as a "break" (sheet metal term). Position your thumb nail across the first 20% of the reed length (rivet end), gently lift the free end of the reed with your plinking tool. Take it slow at first, you'll be surprised at how well this works--you do not want to turn your reeds into miniature ski jump ramps!
