These reeds got me through University and totally changed the game! Great for traveling gigs
I'm a student clarinetist, and I was getting tired of my cane reeds always warping and trying to control humidity and all that, so I decided to switch to synthetics. My previous experience wit them wasn't great, but legere reeds worked really well!!!!!!! I think the French cut works best for my current setup (Vandoren M40 mouthpiece). They are not completely perfect (I find it is a tiny bit more difficult to maintain a pure tone at softer dynamics), but in my opinion their consistency causes them to easily exceed cane. Also the fact that they do not dry out is really helpful when doubling, or waiting before a performance. And I do save time by not having to break them in too. Overall I really like them!!!!!!!!!!
Never thought I'd be a fan of synthetic reeds but these have proven me wrong! Articulation has never been so easy without giving up tone quality.
This Bb clarinet European cut reed played well for me right out of the box, and through several hours of practice and rehearsals! Wow! I'm amazed and delighted with it. The sound is slightly different than my bamboo reeds, and I noticed I was playing a little on the sharp side, so will have to make a few adjustments, but so far, so good!
We're so thankful for your positive review and are glad you had a great experience!
