Re: Fuzzy tone once again...

It doesn't really sound fuzzy, it sounds spread. The vowel shape of the sound is more towards the "Oh" camp vs the "Eee" camp. Most players in the states play towards an "Eee" shape. Personally, it sounds like you need to either tighten up the corners of your embouchure or raise your tongue position.

I play an M15 style mouthpiece in my recordings of the same etude using Legere European Cut, strength 4 reeds.

The cost per reed is high but they are very durable. I've gotten 6-8 months with regular rotation.

If you must play cane, I think 3.5+ reeds are the way to go. Personally, I've had more success with traditional style reeds vs V12 with that style of mouthpiece. You may want to look into D'addario Reserve (not classic) 3.5+ reeds. My students have had good success pairing those reeds with an M15.
