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
I've been using Légère Bb clarinet reeds on my sop sax - it started when I had several that were the wrong strength so when I got a sop sax, and had not sop sax reeds, I used the Bb reeds. They worked well and the tone and responsiveness seemed fine. I just bought a sop sax reed of identical strength to test. The sax reed is a little broader and shorter. Swapping back and forth, my initial impressions are that the sax reed is a little brighter and louder, and perhaps a little more responsive in the lowest notes. Intonation seems similar but I have as yet to use a tuner to test it. I think I'll continue with the "official" sax reed and use the Bb cl reed as a back up.
I used to use the same reeds for Bb and Eb clarinets and sop sax - its really convenient! But I recently swapped to using an Eb reed for that pip-squeak clarinet and found the sound and intonation to be more stable - so I'm anticipating the same with the Sop Sax in the long run.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
As usual, I am satisfied with it.

Versatile to different songs
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
We are new sax players, but have already figured out which reeds are the best. We especially like the American cut ones.
Thanks for the kind review!
No splinters. Tastes great, less squeaking. Good to the last note. Seriously, I'm playing Legere almost exclusively now!
Thanks for the kind review!
