i am considering on auditioning on the alto for All-State.
do i use reeds made specifically for the alto clarinet or would alto saxophone reeds suffice?
thank you

I use both reeds made for alto clarinet and alto sax. Granted, I'm not a professional, but admittedly, I can't hear that big a difference, if any, between the two types of reeds.

my friend who played alto for clarinet choir had some issues with squeaking, and our CC director (a clarinet specialist) had her try sax reeds, but that just made it worse.

I use Alto clarinet reeds, cause I like the way they play my mouthpiece, but there are some STRANGE alto mouthpieces out there with wacky tip openings/shapes.
By the way, I'm selling a plastic alto clarinet if anybody is interested. Keywork and body are in great shape. Pads need some adjusting, and I don't have the time. I rarely use this horn.
