I'm pretty much a beginner, playing on a student clarinet with a b45 mouthpiece
I've been using traditional van doren reeds (3) since the beginning of the school year, and i just wanted to know about pros and cons of different reeds. So can i get any recommendations for which reed i should use, varying from Van dorens v12, black master, white master, or 56?

I have 7 years experience and vandoren reeds are my favorite. I just recently switched to V12's (about 3 months ago) and I can honestly say that i will never go back to using regular vandorens. although V12's are expensive they have a very good tone and in every box i always find that over half of them are 'good' reeds, where as with a regualar box of vandoren's i usually only find 2 or three 'good' reeds. Also, the difference in regular vandorens and the V12's is the way the cane is distrubuted through the reed. In the v12's it is evenly distributed giving it a better tone quality. I haven't tried any of the other vandoren kinds yet, but i think i'm sticking with the V12's for now.
hope I helped,

I have tried the following reeds. It's become like a hobby of mine. Everywhere I go I buy a reed I didn't have before to try.
So I've tried
Vandoran, Trad and White Knight
Rico, Royal, Grand Concert, Reserve, Plasticover.
Zonda.
La Voz.
J. Michael.
Fibracell.
But I keep coming back to Vandoran, as my regular. Definitely the best tone. My second choice would be La Voz. Third choice Rico Reserve.
I have yet to try Michel Lurrie.
