V12's

Author: Aussie Nick

I have always used Vandoren blue box as my main choice of reed on my Viotto, but now (due to improved intonation) I am playing a Greg Smith mouthpiece. I had a few oldish V12 size 4's lying around and they worked really well on the mouthpiece, and so I was very happy with it. Now, I am still happy with the mouthpiece, but I am finding problems with the the new V12's I have been purchasing. I tend to have to move the tip of quite a few of them to either side of the mouthpiece. I realise this is probably a case of the reeds being unbalanced. The thing is when I adjust them (after breaking in) I am having very little success. I had much more success in adjusting the blue box reeds. Help! Does anyone else have to move their reed to a particular side? It just seems odd to me
