I purchased the Pomarico Crystal Ruby (Mellow) Mouthpiece and I started playing it. My goal was to actually get it to easily play the higher (3rd) octave easily and yes, it did it. It also had great pitch. However, I don't know if it is the reed, but it is too "STUFFY". I can't play fast staccato notes and even a 2 octave "B" tonguing.

I use: Vandoren V21 3.5 Strenght.

Should I use a different reed? Is the mouthpiece the problem (my previous mouthpiece seems to work fine).

Thanks.

What would you recommend for reeds if it is the problem? Stronger reeds or less stronger reeds?
