Well I don't know if this is at ALL related to your problem, but I have the same thing (sorta) happen to me switching from a "Buffet" style acoustically built horn moving to a .....well, Leblanc Opus/Concerto, new Selmers or even most of the Backuns. All of a sudden it is if the reed wants to close upon me. I switch back to the Buffet the mouthpiece/reed plays just great.

For me, there is a different approach to playing these different acoustically built horns. On the Buffet, I push more and can keep pushing, but for some reason the other style horns just don't like that. Maybe you have a reverse syndrome going on.
