<P> Single reeds are used on the mouthpieces of clarinets and saxophones . The back of the reed is flat and is placed against the mouthpiece , the rounded top side tapers to a thin tip . These reeds are roughly rectangular in shape except for the thin vibrating tip , which is curved to match the curve of the mouthpiece tip . All single reeds are shaped similarly but vary in size to fit each instrument 's mouthpiece . </P>
