I have played bari reeds on a contra alto. They certainly were tight and
focussed sounding, not as much vibration(overtones) as the Bb contra which
works also.
The m'piece was a stock Bundy that came with the instrument.

Subject: [kl] Question on reed sizes

Does anyone know if bari sax reeds will fit an Eb Contra-bass (contra-alto
clarinet) clarinet mouthpiece ? And if not, will any reed other than an Eb
Contra-bass clarinet reed work ?
