This is the best Eb reed I've ever had! Better than any other cane or synthetic reed, Bb or Eb!
I was using cane reeds for my Eb soprano, but have been using Legere reeds on my Bb for years. When I started playing my Eb more I decided to try the Legere European cut 3.00 reeds. I wish I hadn't waited so long to switch. I wasn't sure if my Vandoren mouthpiece would be a good fit with the Legeres, but man what a difference in my tone, projection and control! Now if Legere would just make an Alto clarinet specific reed I would be in reed heaven!
Years ago I tried Legere reeds and really didn’t like them but so many players are using them that I decided to try again. Whatever Legere did to improve them has worked. I like the European and Signature cuts. I have a bass, alto, and B flat. They need different strengths and the two cuts respond differently on the instruments, but in a good way. I’m very happy with the new Legere.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
The Euro cut Eb reed has been a game changer for me - it's the same on every gig, which makes me much more confident on a notoriously demanding and difficult instrument.

The European Eb clarinet reed is fantastic!
Glad to hear you're enjoying the reed!
