Reeds. again...?

Question:

Reeds. again...?

Another question. Are Eb contra-alto reeds the same as contra-bass reeds? I bought this http://www.muncywinds.com/product.php?pr... and this http://www.muncywinds.com/product.php?pr... Are these what I want? Will they work for the Eb contra-alto clarinet? Even though the picture on the Vandoren reeds, isn't that a Bb contra-bass? I'm really confused about that too?

I know the Eb contra-alto isn't the same as the Bb contrabass. But when people say the contra-bass, do they mean the Bb contrabass? Or do they mean the Eb contra-alto? HAA. I'm so confused. Thanks.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Usually it's a Bb contrabass. I don't think that the reeds are the same. You'd have to ask a professional. I looked and this website is what I found

I also read that the Eb contra alto is a different name for the Eb contra bass, so the reeds should work.
