Subj: [klarinet] Zonda tenor sax reeds?
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 1998 15:10:39 -0400

I've in the past happily used Van Doren tenor sax reeds
on bass clarinet when I didn't have B.C. reeds handy.
(some people have even claimed that they're the same
specs, I've persuaded myself that I prefer the real
B.C. reeds, but have no real reason for this opinion other than
vague personal prejudice).

Has anyone tried Zonda tenor sax reeds on bass clar?
Are they the right shape? How do the strengths
correspond to Van Doren bass clar reeds?

(If I don't get answers I'll try it myself sometime and
report back. WW&BW has them listed for aboutthe same
price as Van Dorens. There don't appear to be Zondas
intended specifically for B.Clar, though I may be wrong)
