Overall impression is quite great: the quality, a lot of body to the tone, low notes sound really deep and full, and the high notes can be more soft and balanced. One significant moment to consider: size 2 or this series is quite harder that 2 in others... Feels like somewhere in between 2.5 and 3 Vandoren Traditional classic reeds.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
Tuba playing band director here. I usually squeak when I play a cane reed on clarinet. With this reed, no squeaks. Plays easily.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
Really good reeds! I love the European cut but found that they were more appropriate for jazz venues! I had to use wood reeds for more classical purposes! When I that tried the French cuts, I was really impressed! Now the French cuts are my go to for Concert Bands and else and I will keep the European cut ones for Jazz venues!
Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed review!
Very nice sound
Glad you're enjoying your reed!
As I am returning back to playing the clarinet regularly after over two decades I needed a reed that was going to be responsive and controllable while I work to rebuild the stamina and strength of my embouchure. More importantly I needed to have a reed that was going to be consistent while I did this, and that is exactly what I received with the Legere Classic as I got myself back into playing shape.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review!
