I am now on my 3rd Legere reed. What I like most about this one and the others that I have tried is that they add some brightness to my sound. I perform on an old pre Mark V1 tenor which has a pretty dark sound. I love the way it plays, but, especially for rock gigs, it is helpful to have the additional brightness.
I’ve been using this reed for about 2 weeks and it I amazing. It has a beautiful sound and is also very responsive and bright. The low notes play easy and are very clear, and the high notes are also very crisp and bright. However I would suggest going up in strength a tiny bit from what you would usually play on a cane reed.
Like the Signature, love the American! Great for bright and edgy, but can lay off just as well. I can imagine both Dexter and Brecker enjoying the American cut, plus it pairs well with all my mouthpieces. Well done!
Just right!
Extremally responsive and consistent. I play in a high altitude dry climate and it's wonderful to have the stability the Legere delivers compared to instability of traditional cane reeds.
