claire70, thank you for your positive response, i was taken aback and really unsure how to interpret ttt's posting which is very ambiguous, was i being flamed, or being directly reprimanded, or would it be more appropriate to feel regrets for ttt's (deleted?) remarks being tsk'd by the editor, or did ttt edit out with regrets ...?
to your question ... suggest you get a sampler trio, one of each strength in soft, med-soft and medium, can test each to find which works best for you right away and go from there
... the reed timbre is definitely different, the softer ones don't always sound too good, mediums generally sound better and more 'american'
i still find those too resistant (too woody) for me at the moment, so be patient and work into yours
... have to get adjusted to using relatively light lip pressure on just the tip most of the time, but like any reed there's an individualized optimum position and embouchure pressure for getting sweetest tones out of it
