Hi Sylvia,

You might try a Selmer C* refaced to match Lawrie Bloom's (Chicago
Symphony Orchestra) mouthpiece. The gentleman who does that work is Rick
Sayre outside of Chicago. The mouthpiece, including the refacing, is
$150. With that mouthpiece, you can use Vandoren 3.5 or 4 reeds....the
4's are what I use. I have had quite a bit of success with this setup.
