You say you switched from Rue Lepic to V12 and from a Vandoren M30 to a Buckun Camarata that you describe as "fairly closed." What reed strength are you using with these mouthpieces? Did you change strengths or just reed models? The M30 is nominally a 1.15 mm tip opening, which wouldn't be considered "fairly closed," so unless the Backun's curve is considerably shorter than the M30, it should take at least slightly harder reeds. My first inclination would be to suggest your reeds may be too light for the mouthpiece, but I'm curious what strength you're using.
