A more vibrant reed than the 56 Rue Lepic, such as a Behn Aria or a Vandoren V12 or a Vandoren Blue Box, might help. Ridenour vintages and models vary in resonance, dynamic range, and projection. The HW model he was making a few years ago had good resonance and projection; the old models with the fish symbol were duller and stuffier. The newest Homage Wright model with thick rails has a very covered sound that can become muffled. One mouthpiece tech who mentioned that he can sometimes improved the projection of Ridenour pieces (by removing material from the baffle and chamber areas) is Tim Wright. You can reach him at twright3109@yahoo.com.
