Eb Soprano Clarinet Classic

I use Legere reeds for all of my play test mouthpieces. I don't have to spend bench time soaking reeds to play test. Just grab and go.

The Legere reed for Eb Clarinet produces a wholesome sound in the lower register but I had some difficulty with high notes, as if the vibration required did not always happen. I should note that I am fairly new to the instrument and a better player may have a better experience.

I’m a complete Légère convert for Bb, Eb clarinets and sop sax. I’ve settled into happiness zones for my Bb Cl (French cut 3.0) but am still experimenting with the Eb and sop sax. I am currently playing on an Eb Euro 3.25, and am pretty happy with it but was curious about whether the Classic would have a different sound. I took advantage of the 10% off sale to order a 3.0 classic, but for me it was very much too thick - I could hardly make a sound. Compared to my 3.25 Euro cut, this 3.0 Classic feels as if I’m playing a #5 reed or something! I had wondered if it was a faulty batch, so sent the batch number to Sean at Légère, who kindly looked into it to make sure it was not a quality control issue. It doesn't seem to be. So I guess this is just the wrong reed for me. I'll continue to use the Euro 3.25, and will look forward to the French cut.
