A thick reed most appropriate for a traditional or classical setup. The Classic for Clarinet has a thicker tip than other Légère clarinet reeds and is designed to produce a darker sound. This reed is recommended for beginners though it is appreciated by advanced players seeking a darker sound.

Brought confidence for the first time to playing my paperclip contra-alto clarinet

Reeds were easy on my Bundy but a difficulty changing to a Leblanc paperclip. I initially tried wood and plastic for contra clarinet, bass & bari sax. None played well or sounded good. A low clarinet group suggested 1.5 - 2.0. This worked, but squeaked with difficult intonation. As my embouchure improved, so did my reed strength preference. I risked another Legere contra clarinet reed, this time a 2.5, and discovered a reed that sounds well, doesn't squeak, helps hold intonation, and for the first time, gives me confidence playing this instrument.

Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!

Love Légère reeds!

I have them for my Tenor Sax, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet and Contra Alto Clarinet. They play easy, are convenient to use (no dry reeds), and they last longer than the wooden reeds. My son also uses them.

Thanks for the thoughtful review! Glad you're enjoying your reed!

too soft

Dear Sir or Madam,

this is what I do :

I use Legere european cut on soprano clarinet and signature on bass clarinet.
I do not use Legere on alto sax, synthetic reeds does not work for me on alto (hope they will some day)
I just got myself contrabass clarinet and was told 2 strength would be suitable.
It is much too soft. Actually would need to go for 2.5 or 2.75 as this is actually contraalto (or contrabass in Eb, or the great bass - it has 3 different names)
Bottomline it is a baritone sax in clarinet skin - not too popular instrument.

I can tell soprano clarinet and bass clarinet Legere reeds both signature and european cut are supreme to other reeds - both natural and synthetic - simply, it makes no sense using other brand.
I just switched to them this year and they completely revolutionized my playing.

I'm not an endorser but recommend them to everyone - maybe I can be your endorser one day, don't know if you would be into avantgarde player to endorse your product but if yes then it would be fantastic.

For this moment I'm endorsing Yanagisawa saxophones and Eventide products.

If you would consider me being your endorser please let me know - my main thing is alto sax and bass clarinet + just applied contrabass and they say my soprano clarinet playing is decent too.

Just played the New York's Vision Festival with Matthew Shipp Quartet
