Yongfeng Zhang

Performing Saxophonist

China

I had used plastic reeds before but the feeling and sound were far from the natural reed. Légère reeds are the closest to natural reed and the sound is more modern, and the feeling is good. I can adapt it within a very short time. And the longer using time & stable quality are also cool.
