This theme started me on an interesting discovery trip. Back in 1962-3 I played Eb clari in an RAF band. I still have the instrument that I played then, although I've rarely played it since. I also dug out a few eefer reeds dating from that period. They are Vandoren #4, I'm not sure what particular type, they just say Vandoren. Using the same mouthpiece I can still play them without any real problems, but a modern Vandoren Eb #4 Blue Box is much harder. Modern 3's seem to play about the same as the old '62 4's.
