|Speaking clearly from ignorance here, Justin, can you use a soprano
saxophone
|ligature? It is somewhat smaller than an Eb soprano clarinet ligature? If
the
|ligature works, you can perhaps adjust a soprano sax reed by cutting it
down
|to size.

About ligatures, I would agree with Cindy. Try a soprano ligature. But, if
it does work, try looking for a sopranino sax reed.

It's been my experience that when trying to exchange reeds/ligatures between
clarinets and saxophones, there is still a difference in facing and size,
etc...

an example would be: Bass clarinet (Tenor reed, bari ligature),
Alto Clarinet (Alto (bit big)/Soprano (bit small) reed, Tenor ligature)

I wouldn't be sure, because I've never worked with anything higher than an
Eb soprano clarinet or anything lower than a tenor sax/bass clarinet.
