A B45 sounding good is totally up to the player. I think 4 1/2 is a rediculous reed strength for that mouthpiece! I would imagine your tone would be fuzzy, airy and spread unless you have some serious embouchure strength and lungs. Although, i really dont know because i have not heard you.

In high school bands, my US friend told me generally people thought the harder the reed, the better. This is definetly not true. So if your playing on a 4 1/2 (using it for a month) reed on a B45 just because you can, I would try something different. Ask your teacher about your sound and try some different mouthpiece/reed combinations and decide what you sound best on.
