The reeds are even more important on bass clarinet than on soprano. Also, for
some reason, bass clarinet and tenor sax reeds seem to run soft. I have
students that play a 3 on soprano and a 4.5 or 5 on bass. In my experience,
Vandoren bass clarinet reeds are not the best. I use Vandoren V-16 or JAVA
tenor sax reeds. Hope this
helps.
