Re: reed strength for B40

I think you should get 4's for practice to strengthen your embrocher. I have been practicing on 4 1/2 GCS ricos and a mitchel lurie 5 1/2. I can feel my embrocher get real sore after awhile. Then after I can hardly blow a note. I switch to my regular reeds to cool-down.
When I play normally with my regular 3 -3 1/2 It is much easier to blow and last alot longer without getting tired. Also easier to sound better.
Maybe you should try something other than vandorens I seem to find better with most other reeds. But V12s are good too.
