Reeds, 2x4s and a clarinet:)

Hey everybody! It's been a while since I posted, but I've gone through sooo many mouthpieces and soooo many brands of reeds this year that I gotta some sort of advice:) I started out the year on a 5RVLyre, a Zonda 4 reed, and a standard Rovner ligature. I sounded really dark, but reallly fuzzy and I had to attach a third lung just to play open G. But that was all I knew so I stuck with it for a while, and then I switched to a new mouthpiece, still a 5RVLyre, but refaced a lil bit, and then I tried V-12's, which I have never been able to get good tone above Middle C on, because it gets extremely thin and buzzy. So I tried it and it was actually okay, but I still think that I can find something better. So then I bought the Eddie Daniels ligature, and I really haven't seen much of a difference. So I've tried Mitchell Lurie(hated it), Zonda(okay), Alexander Superial(hated it), Brancher(hated it), Blue Box Van Doren(hated it) Rico(hated it), so there aren't many reed choices left, and I don't know what mouthpieces to try, so ANY, and I mean ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!!!!
Megan
