Over the last two years I've tried all the varieties of Legere Reeds for tenor saxophone. The Signature has become my favorite. I can get much more expressive playing on this reed. I do like the the French Cut when I want a softer, but fatter sound, ( say classical music) and the American Cut when I need to push hard over an amplified band. ( I don't amplify my horn, I have no problem filling a large room- provided the reed can keep up) But the Signature really does do everything well. Once it's on the mouthpiece, I don't think about reeds anymore. If you are new to Legere, or on a one reed at a tme budget, the Signature will not disappoint.
We're so thankful for your positive review and are glad you had a great experience!
Performing in Northern Virginia area my ensemble and solo performance opportunities extend into D.C., Maryland, and Virginia venues. Often I am required to switch from/to Soprano, Tenor, Alto, Clarinet or Bass Clarinet. LeGere reeds eliminate the fear of a dry reed "solo" squeak. Once I found the LeGere reed that "fit" each mouthpiece those "solos" became a thing of the past. What helps greatly is that the uniformity of reed strengths makes replacing a reed easy. Each LeGere reed plays uniformly in each of the instrument's ranges. The ease of "one-time" replacement policy is another great benefit of using LeGere reeds; also beneficial for reducing reed-storage clutter. What's not to like?
We truly appreciate your feedback and are grateful for your kind words!
Fits my bass clarinet case well, matches nicely, feels like quality materials!
Your feedback means a lot to us—thank you for sharing your review!
Looks good on my bag
My most recent invoice was just shy of free delivery so I thought that rather than pay for shipping I would buy a case tag. What I found was that this colourful tag is very eye catching and it draws attention away from my case not mention that I am also personalizing my gear. Then there is the motto - Freedom to Perform- which speaks volumes. All in all, it is a good conversation piece.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
