Subj: [kl] Reed Size Question. Please Read!?!!

Hi, I'm no expert on reeds, but I find size 2 1/2 Vandorens are very
useful to me and my mouthpiece/clarinet. But my mouthpiece broke (please
don't ask questions about that), so I had to get a new one. Once I got
the new one, I tried using my old reeds to play, but it doesn't sound so
clear, the tone doesn't sound clear. Some Vandoren reeds doesn't even
play with the mouthpiece? I have 2 size 3 mouthpieces, but it's still the
same. Does anyone know what size reeds I should get to get a clear tone
for a typical mouthpiece?

The mouthpiece I got is an average one, but with the words E-Z TONE on
it. If you've heard it before, is it any good? I'm not an expert on this.
If you did hear it before, can you tell me what size reeds work the best?
Thanks!
