I love the Arias, but they do run soft, which can make altissimo flat. Do the Aria 4s make any difference over the 3.5s?
Another brand to try are the Pilgerstorfer Dolces. I ordered strength 4, after worrying it would be softer than my Aria 4s. I have only had them two days but so far they seem promising and seem to be ever so slightly stiffer, just enough to make tonguing and high notes easier than the Arias, with a similar ease of play. It is early days, though, so I will reserve judgement until they are broken in, adjusted and played on for several weeks.
My experience with Leuthners was they were much stiffer than the Arias (I ordered strength 4), so if you like the altissimo with those but the playability of Airas, you might try the Dolces in the same strength you favor in Aria to see if they work better.
