Bb Soprano Clarinet European Cut
Oddly enough I use this reed on soprano saxophone and it works so well for what I need. The response is super quick and consistent that I have absolutely 0 worries about reeds. It’s stable and tone quality is what I’m looking for.
I really like this cut. For me It’s more responsive and easier to play than the Signature. Great tone and lots of sound.
These reeds have changed my world.
No fiddling around fixing cane reeds.
Thank you
A good product. I’ve been using this strength and model of reeds for a long time now.
I'm a seasoned saxophone player who recently started playing clarinet because I increasing have parts that require it. The doubling is a challenge because the clarinet sits for a long time waiting, then I need to pick it up and have it play seamlessly, which is tough to do with a conventional reed. The Legere reed solves the problem entirely! I just pick it up and play. I find I practice more as well, because I spend less time fussing with reeds and can just pick up the instrument in a spare 15 minutes. For my clarinet (an older wooden Revere), the European cut worked out better than the French cut. Nice clarity of tone across all ranges and very easy-playing. The only limitation has been that it is more difficult to get the highest notes popped out, but it may be that I need a higher strength. I was playing a 2.5 (barely) in a Rico or Vandoren cane reed, and started with a 2.75 in the European cut Legere. I will go up to a 3 for the next purchase (of which there will be many in the future!)
We truly appreciate your feedback and are grateful for your kind words!
