Hi Cornellouis,

Changing the reed/mouthpiece combination you're using isn't the appropriate prescription to solve the problem you're experiencing. Most clarinetists have a note or two on their clarinet that don't play particularly well -- there's no magical reed/mouthpiece combination that's going to satisfy every note.

This is especially true because the problem that you're describing sounds more like an adjustment problem: the pad of the RH sliver key doesn't lift enough, and it isn't venting properly. Take it to a repair tech!

If I'm right -- changing you're reed/mouthpiece to solve this is like changing the headlights on your car to improve gas mileage.

If you like the reed/mouthpiece combo you've been using for all the other notes -- keep using it.
