Don't hesitate trying sax reeds in clarinets. For example some old warriors thought, that Rico tenor sax reeds were the best bass clarinet reeds. The whole legere european cut thing started from mr Morales trying legere soprano sax reeds in the clarinet. I was delighted to find out, that legere american cut alto sax reeds are superb in the basset horn (got a tip from legere). The classic double base clarinet reed by legere is quite stiff qnd stuffy like all the legere classic clarinet reeds. If i ever would end up in situation that i was forced to play the double bass clarinet i would definitely try legere american cut bari sax reed.
