I found that the reeds are paramount to how well these things run. I never tried the steel but there was a little drill I do where I very lightly blow then draw on the reed using my mouth but with my nose open. The very slight resultant pressure and suction should make the reed work cleanly and without any sign of it imitating a clarinet. If it sings then you need to do something to it.
Mostly this was an issue with the old bronze reeds. Perhaps the steel reeds are similar in this respect since they can be permanently deformed. The mylar reeds always work first time, every time for me.
