Re: Contrabass clarinet reeds

Vandoren contrabass mouthpieces have a narrow slot and are suited to the 19mm wide reeds.

The only reeds that are wider than 19mm are possibly Vandoren bass sax reeds, though I'm not sure just how wide they are. I don't know about Rico bass sax reeds.

Leblanc contras (EEb and BBb) have the same bore and mouthpiece.

Though you could always lift up a floorboard if you're really stuck!
