Re: reed strength for B40

This is perfectly fine combo of pieces. You may find the B45 Lyre somewhat resistant.

I am not sure its such a good thing to play on different mouthpieces for the A and one for the Bb horn.

Colour wise I tend to find the B45Lyre quite different from the B40 and you should consider maybe matching same mouthpiece design for each clarinet...ie) the b40 for both horns or the B45Lyre.

I would personally find it hard to switch from the A to the Bb knowing the mouthpieces react and work differently. Maybe look into a ligature as well that affords good response.

Just some observations from working in an orchestra.....
