Does a soprano Eb clarinet use the same Bb clarinet reeds or an alto's reeds? I need to know before buying one, which might be in 3 days.

Thats the problem. It has it's own type of reed. I've checked in music stores and Ebay, but neither has them! I have checked over and over again in ebay but never shows up. Does anyone have any clue where i can most easily get them?

I have a C clarinet which I believe is even smaller than the Eb. I make my own reeds by cutting and sanding down the ordinary Bb reeds. If you need instructions on how to do this there is a lot of information on the internet. Just GOogle "clarinet reeds".

Alanporter, think you can show me a pick of a C? Can't find one, and since its smaller it sounds more interesting to get >.< But i thought the C is WAY bigger than a Bb

Hi Gordo
Sorry I can't show a photo of my C clarinet, my camera died last week and I haven't got access to one at present.
The C clarinet measures 22 inches from the tip of the mouthpiece to the end of the bell, compared to 26 1/2 inches for a Bb instrument.

I buy Eb reeds all the time. Though over the years many music stores have to order them in. But almost all stores I've dealt with do this.
