I perform in shows. It is a pleasure to know that the reed you are playing on will be constant and sound great all of the time. The trick with these reeds is that you need to find which of the Legere reeds will work with your mouthpiece. This will take some trial and error but will be worth it.
It was BETTER performing than I thought it would be for a ‘plastic’ synthetic reed.
I have been using European Cut for some time. This was the reed that finally convinced me there was an alternative to cane. The French Cut reed is even more suitable to my style of playing and will be ordering the French Cut reed from now on. I am not sure that it is much darker as advertised but I seem to get more of the response that I expect from a good cane reed. I still use cane mostly for practice because I have a large stock pile but in performance I strictly use Legere reeds because of the reliability.
The French cut reed has a wonderful resistance, a warm sound, and is very responsive. I use a #4 on a Vandoren B 40 lyre and it is a perfect fit
The French cut reed is wonderful
Thanks for the kind review!
