Re: Legere Reeds

Legere reeds (and other synthetics) don't absorb much moisture.

This can lead to a film between the butt end of the reed and the mouthpiece table. The reed then 'floats' and can be wild.

Sort of like hydroplaning in an automobile.

When mine starts to misbehave, I take it off and dry the works.

I love these things, and if they were just a little better, would give up on natural cane entirely.

When you have that one good reed on a good day, there's nothing like it.
Sort of like finding your 'swing' in a sport.

When the reed is unmanageable... Legere lights the way!
