Have ordered a Caravan narrow tip large chamber would like two other mpc in a morgan or Jody jazz or a ottolink STM new york if I want to use the same size reeds on all what would be the tip opening and faceing size or is it not practical to go this way,I use the caravan with accoustic guitar and bass but with the other R&B and contemporary electric bands I'm wondering what would set me apart from the guitars and be powerful and easy to control?

I don't completely understand what you're trying to ask.

It's not a good idea to use the same reed on different mouthpieces, because your reed will have to break in to a facing for it to play well. You are prone to squeaking or other problems if you constantly warp the same reed on different facings.

If I get the mouthpieces with almost the same tip opening and faceing could I use the same strength reed for all of them?
