Hi I was just wondering which reeds people like to play on with the b40 lyre!!

I usually use v12 3.5 but i find that while a few of them sound pretty, some sound kinda bright and edgy? especially in clarion and above range. It’s a bit strange because v12 is said to be the darkest sounding among the Vandoren reeds. However, I feel like going to 3.5+ would be too resistive for my comfort. Any recommendations for reeds that pair well with the B40 Lyre?
