RE: e-flat contra-alto reeds

Depends on the instrument and what mouthpiece it takes. Some models use standard bass clarinet mouthpieces and so take bass clarinet reeds. Others are setup for contra- mouthpieces and reeds. Mine is the first type - uses a standard bass clar mpce setup. I will have to open the coffin at home and look before saying what model instrument it is, though.

I have heard of using sax reeds on contra-clarinets, as well as tenor sax reeds on bass-clarinets - success with this will depend on both the mouthpiece and the player.

Bork!
