Great Reeds! truly reliable.. good tone and worth the $$.
This reed is such a good one to start with if you are diving into the world of synthetic reeds. I love the variety of strengths that Legere offers, because you can slowly work your way up to your goal. It also is a muc better investment than paying for wooden reeds because of the life span and price comparison. Highly recomend!
Been using this reed for marching band. No complaints. It’s nice to have a reed that plays immediately when it’s really hot outside.
This reed has been working great! I've adjusted some things with my Alto setup so it's always a struggle to get things to click. I gave it an honest 7-10 days of play testing though to get comfortable. Yesterday I went back to my old setup to compare and I can honestly say it was a night and day difference! With the Legere my tone is warm and focused and I really sound great! There is greater response across my horn and more flexibility. My intonation is stronger, my upper register is clearer, and my low notes are smooth and effortless to play. I would recommend to anyone looking to make a switch, to be honest with yourself about what you want to accomplish and adjust. Be patient with the process and give it time. I'm playing Legere reeds on my Alto and Bari (Signature 2.5) and don't anticipate having to change reeds for quite some time! My bari reed is over 1 year old now and still playing great.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
After trying 30 cane reeds that didn’t blow well, I gave up and changed to Legere Signature for concert and jazz band. Finally the reed frustration is over! Am also trying a French Cut for concert band mouthpiece and I like the subtle darkness of it.
