I have to agree about the B45. (Though many on here have had great success with them. Mouthpieces are a very personal decision for you. If it works for you, great. Otherwise, don't hang on to it because someone else said it was the best choice.)
Knowing how brilliant Ridenour's products are first hand, I have no doubt his mouthpieces are equally good. You'll have to try and make your own determination. For me personally, I steer away from 'corporate' products like Vandoren and like to shop 'small business' or boutique shops. But I do acknowledge many people make terrific products. Eg, have you considered a 5RV Vandoren?
Lastly, if a mouthpiece doesn't play in tune...it is worthless...no matter what.
Also, check intonation, LoL! Go break a reed!
