Not sure what type of reed you need? Here's a quick guide to help
CLARINET
The standard Clarinet used in most playing and teaching is called the Bb Clarinet (B Flat) measuring about 50cm in height when put together.
When very young and to small to hold a standard clarinet a student may learn on a C Clarinet, of which there are two types commonly in use:
Amati C Clarinet measuring about 40cm in height when put together. This clarinet has a plastic body and metal keys. If playing this clarinet then buy Bb Clarinet reeds.
Lyons C Clarinet or Clareneo measuring about 40cm in length when put together. This clarinet has a plastic body and keys. If playing this clarinet then buy the Rico Royal or Vandoren Eb Clarinet reeds.
SAXOPHONE
The standard Saxophone used in most playing and teaching is called the Alto Saxophone (Eb alto) measuring about 50cm in length when put together.
REEDS
When buying a reed you need to know the MAKE and STRENGTH. A teacher may ask you to get some Rico one and a half reeds for your clarinet. This could also be written as Rico 1.5. or Rico strength one and a half. Strength and size mean the same thing.
You will find that most manufacturers make more than one type of reed for the same instrument. If we use Vandoren saxophone reeds for an example, and are asked to get some Vandoren 2 reeds for your saxophone, this would mean choosing what is called Vandoren Traditional or Blue box, it is listed with no other words after it. Vandoren Bb Clarinet, Vandoren Alto Saxophone. When people refer to Rico reeds, they mean the Rico Red/Orange box variety. Rico Bb Clarinet, Rico Alto Sax. A very good alternative reed is made by Razzco in Australia Razz Bb Clarinet, Razz Alto Saxophone.
