.....What about reed shape? Like e.g. semi circular end,
not square, etc. I would guess reed shape should do
something with sound.

Very possibly. The shapes of the reed and slot could affect tone because the area open to air flow as the reed swings through the slot could be different as a function of time. This could create different frequency components and loudnesses. James Antaki is experimenting with some interesting variations of slot geometry.
