After playing inconsistent reeds for so many years, I decided to give Légère a try. I was instantly blown away by the Signature Model Alto and Tenor reeds! Playing was suddenly effortless and fun again! Needless to say, I haven't gone back to cane reeds for any reason ever since first trying Légère. With these reeds I am able to obtain an even response throughout the full range of my horn at all dynamic levels! No matter what the venue, indoors, outdoors, hot or cold, Légère never lets me down. I am finally able to express myself freely and focus on my music rather than having to worry about whether or not my reeds will sufficiently perform. Thank you so much Légère!
