I find myself playing Flat on the high A or above.
I am using Vandoren 2.5 Trad. Reed. and 4C mouthpiece with Yamaha C100.

Would it be better if I use a harder Reed, says 3 or 3 1/2?
Is it a must to use harder reed in order to play the note accurately?

It sounds like you need to work your embouchure more on the high notes. It does take a time to get high notes in tune!

is it related to Throat position more than embouchure for high notes?
