Re: 5 strength reeds

While in college back in the mid 70's, I played Mitchel Lurie, La Voz 3.5 reeds, on an old Selmer Series 9 with a HS* mouthpiece. My instructor suggested it was past time for some new equipment…So, I purchased my first Buffet R13 in 1975, with a Vandoren B45 and Vandoren 5 reeds. My instructor also played Vandoren 5 reeds and man, what a sound he had… My current instructor plays 3.5 V12s and she has a beautiful sound as well, so it completely depends on the individual player and their equipment.
I still play Vandoren 5s today although I use V12, Black Master, 56 Rue Lepic as well as a few other brands. I have also switched from the B45 to a Morales-Backun and a Walter Grabner K14.
