I am using the Reserve Evolution MP 440/442 and the Vandoren M15/13 ... they are dissimilar, but both useful and tune well on my clarinets.
Reed strength is #3.0. I am moving to an adjusted #3.5 for the M15, as the #3.0s are occasionally too light.
I don't bite, nowadays ... I came from the #5.0+ Blue Box mentality ...
My primary instruments are the Ridenour Lyrique 576BC and Lyrique Libertas ... but I also have an R13, Alpha, etc ... The 576 fits my wonky hands better than any other instrument ...
The 576 has a bit more "hold" than the others, so you can use a lighter MP/reed setup ...
Out of the box, I had some balance issues with the Evolution reeds, and they took some break-in before gaining some core and center.
