Is there a difference between reeds for alto, tenor, and soprano saxophones?

You are here:

Yes, reeds are typically sized to fit the specific mouthpieces of each saxophone. Alto reeds are shorter and thinner than tenor reeds, and soprano reeds are the smallest of all, designed to match the corresponding mouthpiece sizes. It is not advised to use reeds meant for a certain size of saxophone on a different saxophone size.
