RE: Contra

I think the Vito uses the larger (than bass) contra MP. The reed size, though, may vary if you're getting a custom MP. Some are sized for a full sized contra reed. They sound a little better (I think) in the lower end, but those reeds DO cost. Some are sized for the smaller bari sax reed. They are easier to find, cost less, and little easier on the lungs, at least on my LeBlanc. I have both and switch, depending on the piece I'm playing. Also, specify what brand contra its for as I've heard some contras have diffferent size tenon/sockets. I was given an almost new Selmer C, but its to small for the LeBlanc.
