Reed Advice Needed

Author: MrWalnut4

Hello, first time poster so excuse me if I discuss a topic already addressed on the BBoard. I've recently been mixing up my setup as I'm in a transition period from a high school band into a college ensemble and I need some advice.

I'm looking to try out some new reeds. I used to play on Vandoren strength 3 traditional reeds but switched to Rico Grand Concert (Traditional blank) about three months ago and am just finishing the last box I had. I tried a couple of the thick blanks and I think I like them better, but my local store didn't have any in stock so I stuck with the traditional ones.

I'm currently playing with a Vandoren M30 mouthpiece with a Rovner ligature on a old-school German Buffet E11 (I'm also in the process of buying an R13 but that's another story). I was thinking about trying some Gonzalez reeds like the FOF or RC and am looking for more suggestions. I'm looking for something that will fit my current setup, and I know trying them for myself is the only way I'll get a definite answer, but any suggestions on what to try are very much appreciated.

Thank you!
