My first thought is to wonder if you're judging from what you hear as a you play or from a decent quality recording you've made of yourself. You will never hear your own sound in real time the way others hear it.

I know you wrote that you don't want to change your equipment, but just trying other reeds - even other Vandorens - doesn't seem like too drastic an experiment.
