Mouthpiece/Reed problem

Author: Ian. C

I am using a Vandoren 5RV Lyre mouthpiece, which is about 9 months old. Reeds used vary between 3.5 & 4 in strength.

The problem is this. After playing for about 30 minutes or so I can't get a sound out of it. Feels as if the Reed has completely covered and blocked the mouthpiece. Altering my embouchure doesn't help. The only way I can get it to play after that is to remove the Reed and put it on again. This is driving me to distraction.

Any thoughts and help would be appreciated Thank you.
