 Re: using tenor sax reeds on a bass clarinet

Hi,

I use tenor reeds on BC all the time. I've never noticed there to be any problems/issues. While the dimensions may vary slightly, a good seal on the MP table does not seem to be an issue.

Also, I bought a huge number of unopened boxes of alto clarinet a year ago and these have made fine alto sax reeds. A tad smaller but still a good seal on the MP table.

As far as strength, IMHO your MP facing and tip opening really dictate the reed number you use.

HRL

PS I actually use BC reeds now on tenor; for the price I can buy NOS BC reeds, they play just fine.
