I have recieved my order of legere signature 3.25 alto reeds , these are my determined strength and what works most efficient and satisfactorily for me with responce, tone, effective playability etc.
i find i have to kind of break them in and rotate a bit , to adjust to them, "not long nothing like cane reeds", also i have found that positioning as to where the reed sits on the mouth piece is very key, also the ligature positioning up or down the table can effect the the tone and responce to your desired effect, if you experiment...
Final note is when you find the right posistion , strength etc.. it is very satifying to have a reed that responds and can give you enjoyment for a "nice long time" to play day after day without the complication of always digging thru a box of canes for your next reed after a few days..
I hope they just get better. synthetic reeds should be the future if they can continue to improve.. excellent canes are very nice , they are just hard and expensive (inconsistent) to come by.. thanks legere please keep improving .. cheers donn
