BD5 Alternatives for Yamaha

I play on Vandoren BD5s on Bb/A CSVRs and Eb 881.

It’s a very good set up and I’d still recommend it to most however I’m just feeling something is missing in the sound. Recently tried some m30s for Bb which I used for almost 20 years but they absolutely do not work for me anymore. I’m a different player now.

Curious to know if people playing yamaha have migrated from the Bd5 to something else.

Side note. I could not be happier with my Buffet Prestige Bass and Selmer Forcus mouthpiece. I’d like to achieve a similar level of satisfaction with the Bb/A/Eb.

My main playing environment is professional orchestral work. Excellent pitch and projection to the back of the hall are priorities.
