1915 Bulb Horn Blockage?

I am having an issue on my '15 bulb horn- when I squeeze the bulb normally I get backpressure and the bulb resists being squeezed which means very little (but good tone) sound. Its not all the time, but if I squeeze the whole thing= resistance, if I squeeze a portion of the bulb then it works.
Any idea what gives?
Thanks
Jim

Probably the reed is stuck. Gently clean it, but don't mess with the flapper, or it may not work at all!

What's the best way to clean a reed?

Or maybe a spider got in there somewhere and plugged it up. Ya never know!

Same problem,I moved my reed from just after the bulb down to just before the horn. Works great now
