Most common reed strength choice

Bear in mind those tip openings are of different makes/models so by themselves (ie without the other criteria such as length of facing) are not so meaningful and especially in regard to what reed might go along with a certain tip opening.

I often get people buying a certain tip because that's what they think they need, only to then find it is very different to what they expected because of a previous mouthpiece make/model. In that case it makes sense to either exchange for a different tip/facing or use different reeds. But the whole thing is a bit complex than saying what reed strength is popular with what tip.



It's good that you mention a specific reed as strength numbers are not consistent across brands. But I wouldn't be able to say anyway as I haven't used a Vandoren reed for years.
