1. Neither the Reed 1 book nor the Reed 3 flute parts require a flute with a low B. Each can be played on a low C flute.
2. The Reed 2 bass clarinet parts do not call for notes below low Eb, so they may be played on any bass clarinet.
3. The Reed 3 baritone saxophone parts calls for a lot of low A’s, so a low A bari sax is a must.
I just played the version of this for a female Cat in the Hat (called the “Female Version” by MTI), and the Reed 2 bass clarinet parts go to low C in one of the transposed numbers. All of the other instrument ranges are the same.
Updated per information received from Dahlia Yoeli
Contributor Scott Kaplan indicates that reed 1 has “only 12 measures of soprano sax that can be played on alto without altissimo.”

Updated. Thank you!
