Legere has managed to engineer the ultimate time saver: a reed that frees up scores of hours normally taking up by cutting/shaving/cursing/balancing/sanding traditional reeds. All the Legeres are better than most cane reeds out of the box and a Legere that matches your set-up can last for months.
It’s really quite amazing. The Legere is capable of smooth silky legato and doesn’t fail in the upper register. To be clear, not every Legere is the "perfect" reed. Some are "better" than others. And when you find "the one" it won't get water-logged, or chip, or warp...
This was my first try with a synthetic reed and I must say, I'm very much astonished! The clarity and playability of these reeds really does approach that of a cane reed. The best thing is that a single reed has lasted me a good five months, before finally giving out. I'm now a staunch believer. Thanks Legere!
Thanks for the detailed and kind review!
Good response and tone quality. It's great not having to spend time adjusting reeds.
Thanks for the kind review!
I like Légère reeds!
Glad you're enjoying them!
The best reeds!
