So, that isn't the reed you thought sounded "fuzzy." That's what your teacher said sounded "too thin." I wonder, did he man that the *sound* seemed thin or that the *reed* seemed to be too thin (weak or light)?

There is a little scoop in one of the upward leaps near the end that might indicate the reed is a little soft, but overall I think the sound is consistent and, for the specific excerpt, not inappropriate, and you sound comfortable. It would be interesting to hear something slower and more legato with more varied dynamics and also something with more articulation.

It would be worthwhile to try a box of 3.5+ 56 Rue or V.12 ("traditional" doesn't come that finely graded) just to find out if you like them better or not. If you hear a fuzzy sound with #4s, if they feel stuffy, then they're too hard. Keep in mind that any box of reeds contains a range of strengths.
