Subj: Eb clar. reeds

Quick question:
I've just borrowed an Eb clarinet to play in a show, and I have to
buy some reeds today. The last time I played an Eb was about 15 years ago,
so I'm not really sure what strength reeds to go with. The part stays
mostly in the upper registers, with a lot of it very high (as to be
expected!). I have pretty good breath control/support, but I don't want to
have to work too hard to get a sound out!
What are your recommendations? (I'd like to take care of this today
- 4/11)

Thanks!
