I am trying Legere reeds. They are very similar feel to natural reeds and last longer. And you can buy same quality of reeds every time! I am satisfied with Legere reeds so far.

I've been a Legere user since they came out in the 1990s. I've enjoyed using the European cut reeds for years, but decided to give the French cut a whirl. I bought a couple, then a few more, and then more. I'm really enjoying these reeds.

I have played European Cut Clarinet Reeds exclusively since they first entered the market. I have been very happy with their sound and response. However, I recently purchased a French Cut Clarinet Reed and I think it is even better! The reed has a dark rich sound, stability of tone in all registers, and great response.

I've been trying all of the Legere reeds and am really enjoying the French Cut that I recently purchased. Free blowing and nice, full sound. I use a #3. You can't go wrong with Legere!

I have always used canes reeds. I have been an active clarinetist for more than 50 years. Being curious about “plastic” reeds I asked colleagues that used them to make a recommendation to me. Legere came to the top of suggested purchases. I read about the different types of Legere reeds and decided the French Cut description best fit the sound I like to have. After reading reviews I selected 2 reed strengths, 3.25 and a 3.5. I use a 3.5 blue box Vandoren for cane. When the reeds arrived, nicely packed,I used the 3.5 first. It was glorious to play bottom to top of the clarinet with ease and have no difficulty with articulation. The only drawback was the Reed was too soft and therefore played flat. I had wonderful prompt service when I contacted Legere. At my request I received a 3.75 and was told to keep the other reeds. I will definitely be purchasing my next Legere here. I just played a dress rehearsal for a musical last night using the 3.75, great and my lip recovered much quicker because there are no cane fibers irritating my lip. Thanks so much for opening this door for me.

After playing on wood reeds for most of my career I was pleasantly surprised by the tonal quality that I was able to obtain from this reed. Also unlike a wood reed it can be played on immediately without any break in period. This has definitely provided a huge boost to my practicing and performing.
