@@alexeysclarinet9109 My preferred reeds would be V12 3+ but don't exist. This time I try again the Vandoren traditional 3 which I was playing in my early years. I try them on the Evolution marble mouthpiece. They play quite well. Since there isn't 3+, those are as close to that as I can get. V12 3+ would be better for sure, V12s are nicer quality.
@@alexeysclarinet9109I have a Vandoren glass reed resurfacer, though It takes off the reed too much, even with little rubbing. Fine grit sandpaper is better I think. Do you use 600 or 1000 grit on reeds?
@@jimis3167 usually I use 600. I put a reed on a sandpaper so the reed tip is not touching sandpaper and then I do just several circular motions with almost no pressure and then test reed.
Just informatively, do you still play B40D with V12 3.5?
B40D - yes, reeds are from 3 to 3+ of different brands. This particular is of "SPB Reeds" brand ( Russian)

@@jimis3167 if you really like V12 I would suggest taking 3.5 and sanding tiny bit of flat part of reed on sand paper
