Love the reeds, but I find lately that you can get wide variation in the strengths. Some of my 3.5 strength reeds are softer than my 3.25 reeds. Also, soprano sax reeds work better for me on clarinet.

She had recommended that I move to a harder reed for better control. I decided to try a synthetic, having read about Legere's reeds. I appreciate the easy cleaning and durability, so I bought another pair to rotate them. I have work to do to build up the embouchure, but the tone improvement is promising. Also tried the French and European cuts; some comparison testing is in my future.

I bought another one as a backup! these are my absolute favorite for marching and concert!!

Best synthetic reed I’ve used

I have had consistently good results with the European Cut 3.0 reeds for clarinet.
