Why won't my new clarinet reeds work?
There may be a couple of reasons. The reeds may be either too thin or too thick for you to play with. Or, it's common to find "bad reeds" in a new box of reeds, yes I know, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Even when the box of reeds is the same thickness there are little variations in the cut that can make one reed play better than another. It's customary for clarinet players to either throw away some of the "new reeds", fix them or simply use them only to study.
Can you use a sax reed for a clarinet?
Well yes and no. When you finger a note on alto and tenor the notes in the relative key (Bb for tenor and Eb for alto) are fingered the same way. So a C on an alto and a C on a tenor are fingered the same way, but sound different. On tenor it's a concert Bb, when on alto it's a concert Eb. But for fingering purposes and just generally learning the instrument, yes.

Why is Strength 3 synthetic reed for clarinet too hard to play on?
Everyone has their own preferred strength of reeds. If you are used to 2.5 strength reeds, 3 may give you sore lips, and 3.5 might even make you faint. It also depends on what brand of synthetic reed you use. For example, the Bari Synthetic Reeds are said to be very hard to play on. While Legere Synthetic Reeds tend to be softer and easier to play on(also quite expensive). If you are used to playing softer reeds, it will take 1-3 weeks of practising to get used to it.
