What's the best reed for the V16 T55 ?

Thanks in advance.

Personally I like Zonda first and Rico Jazz select as my close second choice. I'm playing on a buffet dynaction tenor. The T55 is not my choice of mouthpiece though, I'd take a link metal over it. But it is a very good mouthpiece I almost bought a few years ago and consider it a modern standard to compare all other mouthpieces to. I should buy it for just that reason. But I have my metal link for that. :)

I use on my T77 with very pleasing results Alexander DC #2.5, I guess for the T55 a DC #3 should work very well. If you don't encouter the squeaking problem that many members have mentioned here, the Alexander DC are truly excellent reeds with incredible depth of sound.
