RE: e-flat contra-alto reeds

For EEb contra, you should be able to use bari sax reeds if contra clarinet reeds are unavailable. Despite advice to the contrary, I recommend fairly hard reeds (#4 or higher) and a mouthpiece that's more open than generally available -- I play on a refaced Bundy 3 which I've opened way up, and I use a combination of Marca and Vandoren #4 EEb contra reeds, and #4-1/2 Fred Hemke bari sax reeds.
