reed strength for Vandoren 5jb mp

Author: snjshipley

Vandoren seems to recommend very soft reeds for the 5jb mp (strength # 1-1/2 to 2) even for good players, which I am not. Is this reed stength/mp setup suitable for the higher range? I am after better tone and reaching higher levels, say above high D. The low end sounds good.

For swing, pop, and Dixieland music......what reed strength do you recommend for handling both the low and high ends of the scale.
