Try the V21s and possibly the 56s for less edge. I use V12s #3.5 on an M13-lyre ... but I have more problems and get fewer good reeds than with the other Vandoren cuts. About 1/2 of the #3.5 reeds are slightly too soft for the M13-lyre. If I use the 3.5+, about 1/2 are slightly too stiff. I need a #3.75 ...

The V21s seem to articulate about as well as the V12s ... but sadly, the 56s are a bit more sluggish, IMHO.

I briefly studied (a millon years ago and before Vandoren introduced the V12) with a fellow that used Blue Box #5 on a medium open Pyne (a resistant MP) ... I could hardly get a sound ... but this fellow was a big dude that ran in marathons, so he could handle his setup without having a stroke.
