Again, a good start, but you have to figure that out. A lot changes with different lengths of facings. But with cane reeds you try a few out and you'll know right away.

Also, it is best to find the most stable point (best position) for the mouthpiece to rest in your mouth. For many, it would be snugging up to the point JUST BEFORE the only sound you get out of the combination is a squeak (usu. found by inserting more and more mouthpiece while playing open "G" until it squawks, then backing off slightly from there).

You mention trying the German reed on an M15 but don't say that is your usual mouthpiece. I'd also suggest using the mouthpiece you're most comfortable with and getting a German reed strength that works on that.
