If y'all would learn to work on your reeds, the way oboists (for example) do, you'd be able to take just about any half-decent brand or model reed and make it play fine for you, on your own mouthpiece.
Maybe you're lazy, maybe you have no mechanical ability whatsoever (I doubt that!), or maybe you lack confidence - but believe me, NO clarinetist should ever be at the mercy of any reedmaker's stock, or lack thereof.
Buy a good oboe reed knife, keep it as sharp as possible, and learn to adjust your reeds. You might ruin a few (or many) until you get good at it, but it will be well worth the effort.
