Reeds The Mysteries of Branford M.

At the tip, clarinet reeds are about 1mm narrower.
On one of my mouthpieces (metal with thin rails) a clarinet reed falls between the rails.

Another proof... clarinet reeds on a soprano saxophone mouthpiece give no issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Szu46JYO0kY#t=335

Proof of what? That clarinet reeds work on some sop sax mouthpieces? Well, yes, of course they do. I can make a baritone reed work on a sop mouthpiece too, but I wouldn't recommend it. If it floats your boat then by all means do it. I'll stick with the ones designed for it.

As long as you find the correct ligature in the correct material.
All the difference is there

Ok, so almost 3 years since the last post in this thread, but another convert here to clarinet reeds for soprano. The link to Sam Newsome's site, where he describes the advantages/disadvantages made me a little wary at first... But none of those disadvantages came to fruition, where as all the benefits did.
