I am a long time legere user but tonight was the first time I had used a signature cut Reed since I normally play contra clarinets and bass sax and legere only makes classic cut for those horns. The signature bass clarinet Reed played evenly from the top to the bottom notes with a resonate, classic bass clarinet sound. Make thses for my other horns please!
We're so thankful for your positive review and are glad you had a great experience!
With my B45 mouthpiece, the tone quality is indistinguishable from my cane reeds. From past experience, I expect it to last several months. But I wish retailers (for all sorts of merchandise) would not request these reviews prior to the advertised lifetime of products!
Thank you for the comments, we appreciate your feedback.
This reed works great and does not require prep before use. Sounds great and lasts long.
Glad to hear you're enjoying the reed!
This was my 1st bass clarinet reed. Gave me easy response , full range of the horn. I normally play baritone sax
Glad to hear you're enjoying the reed!
I had tried a 'plastic' reed years ago, and had poor results. Six months ago, a bass saxophonist suggested I try the Legere reed, and I'll absolutely never go back to fussing with a cane reed again. I so appreciate not having to stick a piece of wood in my mouth now. The Legere fits under my VanDoren Optimum ligature very well. With cane, I'd start playing a concert, and halfway into the first number, my reed would stop playing. Now I have NO worries, other than dropping my Legere on the floor and wondering where it is! So pleased, I bought another two when they went on sale.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
