From chamber, to orchestral, to New Orleans jazz, to marching, Légère clarinet reeds give modern musicians everything they need to succeed.
The reeds are working great as usual right out of the box for notes top to bottom.
I am very pleased at the performance of this reed. When playing for a show and my clarinet sits for a period of time, I needed a reed that I could count on to be ready without worry of it drying out. The European Cut is perfect for my needs - responds well in all registers, especially the chalumeau - warm, full sounds.
The European Eb clarinet reed is fantastic!
After a 30 plus year wondering in the wilderness, my return to playing clarinet was greeted with inferior and inconsistent cane reeds. I didn’t want to go back to making my own reeds, so I started trying synthetic reeds. For me the Legere French reeds produced the tonal quality, response, and articulation I used to get from my hand made reeds. Bravo.
I am a believer now with Legere reeds!
I switched from cane to Legere Signature after playing on cane reeds for 50 years. I think it plays as well as my best cane reeds but doesn't need the tricky adjustment and maintenance. They also have a hassle-free exchange program for different strengths and damaged reed tips.
I played with cane reeds for 50 years and switched to Legere Signature this year. I waited because I didn't believe a synthetic reed would allow enough control of tone and dynamics. This reed is great and doesn't require the maintenance and adjustment of a box of cane reeds.
I have had consistently good results with the European Cut 3.0 reeds for clarinet.
I keep getting compliments on my soprano sax tone. Not pitchy and shrill. I thank k Légère for the awesome reeds that let me sound better
Légère reeds are made with such exacting precision that they come in 1/4 strength increments. They perform consistently with no fluctuation due to humidity or drying. Proud of this company. A real Canadian success story from Barrie ON!
My favorite was the American Cut until I tried these! The time is so pure. It is responsive enough that I can enter seamlessly from complete silence, the response to vibrato is beautiful, and there is zero breathy sound or buzzing. It's a beautiful reed.
Wow. I live the smoothness of transition throughout the alto sax range. Plays very free.
I find the French Cut a bit mellower sound than the European cut. I enjoy playing on it.
I used to split bamboo reeds because I play aggressively on gigs. These are way more durable (still split them after 100 hours but better than 3 hours) and even if I do, I can still get through a gig. If it's a long gig, I will alternate them out like you should running shoes.
