reed choices for Selmer basset horn

Hi! I'm doing the Mozart Requiem and pulled out my Selmer narrow bore basset horn. Have tried a bunch of reeds and the best sounding are 2 1/2 -3 VanDoren blue box or the 2 1/2 Steurs, with the nod going to the latter. Has anyone found something that works consistently well? I realize that the basset horn does not sound like a clarinet in volume but I'd like to get a bit closer so I'll be heard.

I have a mouthpiece that Clark Fobes made for me after he performed on the same make horn. It really helped too.

THANKS!

Eefer guy
