Re: 2 Different Mouthpiece Questions

I have a Vandoran 5RVLyre mouthpiece and I use a 3&1/2 reed, yet when I put the reed on correctly time and time again, I have difficulty blowing thru it. It is all airy, and I have never ever had that happen with any other mouthpieces that I have used. Does this mouthpiece need a softer reed? And I asked this other question on a different forum, but I am not sure I submitted the question correctly. This evening in a box of mouthpieces I own, I came across a Buffet Crampon C Crown mouthpiece with the 2 rings towards the bottom, and one towards the top of the mouthpiece.I do not know or remember where I got it. But I have never played it because I heard that they are pretty lousy. The logical thing would be to try it but I just came across it at approx. 9:00pm and I live in an apartment and out of courtesy I do not play at night-- neighbors everywhere. Is it true that this Buffet Crown has little merit? I would love some feedback about these mouthpieces if possible. Oh, and I play with a wood Jupiter clarinet which is the top of their line, a little over a grand, but it is considered a "step up" clarinet, which is very much the case since I came off a Vito.Thanks.
