Re: Resistant clarinet?

I don't like the tip of reeds being too thin because for me it allows my high notes to not sound as shrill and thin. Maybe you should try some reeds that have a thicker tip. It would be nice to know what reeds you are playing on now.

As for the mouthpiece, the BD5 can be a little resistant/stuffy/fuzzy sounding. But I don't know if that is the case with your BD5, as no two mouthpieces are the same. I would suggest trying some different reeds first, and if that doesn't really work, look for some closer tip mouthpieces perhaps?
