so if i switch the type of reeds i use i can get a harder reed
You don't seem like you've playing for very long.
I honestly would suggest staying at a 3.
As skill advances it doesnt necessarily mean you move up a strength
Most high school students tend to stick to 3-3 1/2 strength reeds.
Reeds should be easy to play, not hard.
The type of reed doesnt effect how well you play, well, not a lot at least.
its your embrochure and your support.
