Roxann, few years I had this problem when I studied at college and at school.
Those time I played Vandoren traditional reeds #3.
Your problem can be resolved (possibly) if you`ll prepare your reeds. For all who asks me about reeds I tell to prepare them before playing.
Buy a box of reeds, try them all, choose all that are good enough to play and play long notes and exercises on all of them. But not more than one hour per reed. And if at one day you "prepare" 2 reeds, after one week you`ll have enough reeds to play month or two.
Also, if your breathing in development, problems with reeds may depends of it.
There are many brands of reeds and all of them are good, but I start to play on australia vintage reeds, they are hand finished, 8/10 reeds from box are good for me, and cane is the best I ever tried. minimum 10 years of reserve.
