I have used a #2 Legere Signature reed for three months, and it plays now as good as the first day I put it on. I just bought the same as a backup. The alto sig. and clarinet euro cut work equally well. Forget wooden reeds. who needs the hassle!
How refreshing it is to strap on a new reed and have it feel like one you babied to maturity over a period of a month!
Thanks for the review!
It’s good

Baritone Saxophone Signature
Thank you for the review.
I have tried every brand of cane reed and Legere synthetic outperforms them all on baritone. The Legere is solid and nimble all at once - few cane reeds ever achieve this and when they do it is fleeting even for the best reed in a box. With a Legere I get a sound very similar to VanDoren JaZZ but better, easier to control, and way more predictable and durable! I use the signature series with my Berg Larsen mouthpiece and the American Cut with my SYOS mouthpiece - I have no explanation for that - it's just what sounds best. I recommend people experiment with reeds as much as with mouthpieces and don't be a "purest" - if synthetic sounds better, then play it!
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we're glad to hear you're enjoying the reeds.
