I have been using Legere reeds for many years. This is my new favorite.
I get a better tone quality with it.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the reed!
Bass Clarinet European Cut
I am very pleased at the performance of this reed. When playing for a show and my clarinet sits for a period of time, I needed a reed that I could count on to be ready without worry of it drying out. The European Cut is perfect for my needs - responds well in all registers, especially the chalumeau - warm, full sounds.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
Have been using Signature Cut reeds for six months and they’ve given men lots of problems. Switched to a European Cut last week and didn’t squeak once in practice. Also hit a note that was two steps higher than the highest I’ve ever gotten out of my bass clarinet. The tone is slightly rougher than the Signatures, but the European is just so much easier to play.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
This reed was for our granddaughter who is just starting (1 year) on bass clarinet. She had been having problems with (altissimo) with cane reeds. So far she loves this French cut 2 reed. It plays better for her than the cane and the altissimo is clean and no squeaks.
Thanks for the kind review!
