spacer.gif   A Humble Opinion on Legere Synthetic Reeds

  Reeds: Cane, Plastic or Kryptonite?
699 Reads

Well after preliminary testing I have to say that I still prefer Bari reeds as far as synthetics go. The Legere reed was stiff and felt like it had a cut that was "too short". Of course, since they're transparent, you can't see what's going o­n with the cut, so it's very difficult to adjust it with a reed knife either. Another thing I didn't like was that it doesn't have the "texture" that the Bari reed has. This texture gives it a more natural "feel" and it somehow feels more secure o­n the lip. You can tell when it's moved around...where with the Legere it's prefectly smoothe and you kind of feel like you don't know where it's going next.

I guess I'll have to chalk that $13.00 up to experience. I'm going to have to give the Legere a "thumbs down" - at least for Alto Sax.

Next o­n the docket : the Legere for Bb Clarinet - Though after the Alto test I've not got any high hopes for it...

We'll keep you posted. (See Comments...)
