Best brush for Yan (颜) style

Hi all,

I’m working on copying some of Yan Zhenqing’s DuoBao stele characters (颜真卿 – 多寶塔碑).

I am having some trouble with brushes. I have some very nice white cloud brushes from inkston, but they are a little too short/fat to do the effects. The brush I use most is a long mixed hair brush that seems to do a decent job, but sometimes I feel like I need a little more taper. This is an example from my usual practices (there are some issues obviously, but it is representative of the effects of my current brush).

Is there generally a brush that is especially recommended for copying Yan’s old standard script like the DuoBao Pagoda?
