For anyone wondering whether I fixed that reed problem with my concertina, I can report that playing my instrument doesn't make me nuts any more. While I can still hear the buzz/sizzle if I listen very hard for it, the worst of the bad sound is gone.

Part of the issue was the harmonics of this particular concertina -- it definitely has its own little mystery spot -- but good instructional videos and advice helped me banish most of the problem.
