I've been playing artificial reeds for the last 15 years and have at least tried most of them. The Legere Signature is the best I have ever used in every way: sound, response, and longevity. IMHO, it equals or surpasses the best cane reeds in every way.
I am a “late life” saxophonist who has been using Legere reeds for the past 3 months and they have been great to use over the winter months, avoiding the low humidity problems we face.
My main mouthpiece is an Otto Link “super tonemaster 6” and I was using Vandoren Java Red 2.5 reeds. After reading the online guidance from Legere, I decided to start with the Legere Studio Cut 1.5 and the American Cut 1.5 reeds. These reeds have been relatively easy to play and sound very good. As I continue to work with Legere reeds, I plan to try the Signature cut next.
Very happy with results so far.
Reeds are great! Didn’t cut my lips this time so that’s good. Excited to order them again
I have been using Legere Reeds for about 7 years now. It took a well to find the selection that I prefer but I'm happen with the Signature reed for now. It also took a minute for me to choose the right strength so for now I'm using 2.75. I would like to use a 3.0 but I'm not getting any younger. It's so gratifying not to work on a reed for 3 days (a little exaggeration) to play on it in public. I do not leave home without 2 of these reeds in my case.
During this year's band concert our son has a soprano solo dor the opening of the second song... reed plays amazingly well without having to keep wet on the off songs and a couple of musicians commented on how good the sound was. Not to take away from a hs freshman performance, but good equipment matters.
