In the recent past I’ve ordered Legere French Cut clarinet reeds. The first order I was a French Cut 3.50 reed that was special ordered for me from an area music store. The second order was two French Cut 3.75 reeds I ordered directly from Legere. The 3.50 reed worked great while the 3.75 reeds did not because they were the wrong strength for my mouthpiece. (Walter Grabner mouthpiece) I wonder if it is too late to exchange the 3.75 reeds for 3.50 reeds. I plan on using Legere 3.50 reeds and ordering them directly from Legere from now on.
I am picking up after a break in playing, and I did not find the currently available cane reeds to be as consistent as in the ancient past (played on V12’s forever). I was pleasantly impressed when I used the Legere, as I had always been a skeptic about synthetic reeds (back from the days of “plastic” reeds). I’ve filled out my reed holder with a few more, and whenever these do wear out, I will likely buy some more. I’ve also recently tried a few other synthetic brands for comparison, but they haven’t had quite the right feel. However, Legere reeds play like old-school broken-in cane reeds, right out of the box.
Excellent sound.I love the fit on my Vandoren Crystal mouthpiece.
Best reed by far
I got a French cut for alto sax and clarinet. What a significant improvement over the euro cut, so happy to have these to teach lessons all day!!
I have been using the Legere Reeds Signature Cut for the past 6 months and have been happy with them, I saw the ad online and ordered the French Cut and I am pleased with the response and bright sound, I like the Legere reeds, as they are more consistent to the climate conditions and last longer then the Vandoren Cane reeds that I was using previously, Ordering on line was easy, and I received my Reeds within a week. I have found that the Music Stores in my area don't always carry the Grade of reed I would like, so ordering online is a good option for me.
