Bob Hemenger

Educator and Performing Artist

United States

I love Légère reeds for two main reasons; Number One – They don’t dry out Number Two - They are consistent every time I pick up my horn.I have played a lot of outdoor gigs and festivals over the past 23 years in Colorado. Until I discovered Légère reeds I had to keep a cup of water on stage to soak my reeds….sometimes it would get so dry I would have to switch them out every song...not anymore.”
