I truly love these reeds. I never have to worry about the reed being at the right moisture level. I can sog out a reed in no time, now no worries. Going over the break seems easier as well. The Legere Signiture series plays a little stiff i.e. a 2 1/2 plays like a 3. The standard series seems to be a direct conversion from the v12 reed.i.e. the 2 1/2 Legere plays the same as a 2 1/2 Vandoreen v12. I did have to go with a 1 mm longer barrel to get exactly in tune. (66 vs. 65)..

First off, I am glad the option is out there...for those of us who double on reeds, there simply is little time between switching instruments and having the new horn ready to play. The legere meets and exveeds that expectation. Past that, the burning question is...can it replace cane altogether? I think so...with every player having their own setup, things can be different...my clarinet is a vintage buffet R16 (full Bohem mines the Eb) with a Selmer C** mouthpiece playing the signature series 2.5. With long tones, middle C, to the Bb and A...down to low E, I find the sound very nice and sweet. Uppper register is also nice with a slight tendency to overblow...my fault I suspect...easy too fix. The responsiveness to quick passages is also up to par. So, me and a alto player took our respective clarinets and did a test with other musicians listening. No difference between us...and he was using vandoren cane. So, there you go...legare also offers a nifty exchange policy. If you are tired of finding 2 good reeds out of a box of ten, you owe it to yourself to try the legere optionRead full review
