Q: Can Bb clarinet reed be used on a Alto or Tenor Saxophone?
A: Sax reeds are bigger than clarinet reeds. However, it is possible to play tenor sax reeds on bass clarinet, alto sax reeds on alto clarinet and soprano sax reeds on soprano (Bb) clarinet. I'm not sure about using clarinet reeds on sax though, but you could always try.

Gebhard Ullmann pauses while he counts up how many jazz projects he’s actually leading, or co-leading, these days — “… And three new electronic projects, roughly, maybe 15.”
This includes Ta Lam 11, the band with 10 woodwinds and one accordion that must have really made an impact when he toured with it a few years ago. “People remember literally what shoes I had onstage,” Ullmann says. “It must have been really impressive.”
Ullmann brings his Clarinet Trio to the Bop Shop atrium on Monday. This sounds like two too many, but as he points out, two of the clarinets are alto and bass. “It can be kind of orchestral, kind of spontaneous, or maybe standards arranged in a different way,” he says. “We can easily fill four or five hours of music. With the lower clarinets, you can create a rhythm section. And when you’re finished, you put your clarinet in its case, catch the next airplane to wherever you’re going, get onstage, take out your clarinet and start playing.”
