Re: Vandoren B45 and reeds..

OK, now I'm really confused. I wish I had a one on one teacher, but I live in "Nowhere" Montana. The nearest "real teacher" is about 90 Minutes away by car. So please explain a few things.

I have a Bliss L310NS (2nd generation model (composite with grenadilla 66 mm barrel, not Backun). I was looking at the B45 to replace the mp which came with the horn. The original MP with a Rovner Dark ligature, can produce a dark sound (I say" can" because as a beginner (about 8+weeks) I have a long way to go with my emboucher). I use a 2 1/2 VanDoren Blue Box reed. How does one know which mouthpiece is best? How do you know how to pair a reed with a mouthpiece? I don't want to end up with a dozen boxes of reeds before I "find" the right one.
