Plays immediately.

I use Legere Signature reeds for all my saxes as I find them to have the proper combination of easy blowing with full overtones. Never disappointed with them.

After taking a few decades off, I am back to playing my baritone sax. A few things have changed. The biggest one is the Legere reeds. They are a great upgrade from the old cane days. Every one is perfect right out of the box; sounds great, easy to play, consistent and long lasting too. No more sifting through a box of cane reeds, finding the few that sound great, and trying to fix or discarding the rest. I would never go back to cane.

This is my first time using a plastic reed, and I like it. This reed has a lot more bite to it than a wooden reed, which I like. It provides a sharper sound and more consistent attacks than the wooden reeds I usually use. It has less delay, and I appreciate being able to go down a quarter size. I do somehow miss the taste of wood, but I can't really hold that against the reed.

Big sound that I can count on
