Re: Eb Contra Alto Reeds

Depends purely on your mouthpiece. Some mouthpieces are narrower than others and both can be used on both contra-alto and contrabass, depending on the models.
For example the Vandoren reeds fit the Selmer contrabass mouthpiece. That mouthpiece fits all Leblanc contra's and the Selmer contrabasses. I think the Selmer contra-alto mouthpiece (fits Selmer contra-alto clarinets) is narrower, but I'm not sure.

It would be interesting to finally know what mouthpiece has which dimensions, and same for the reeds. It also changed over time I learned.

So, what mouthpiece are you using?
