Re: Wonderful reed!

Legere far exceeds the competition on the synthetic reed front. It is certainly the "go to" reed in hygromatic emergencies, ie too little humidity, and they last longer than their wooden counterparts. The down side is that they will not allow enough vibrancy of sound to achieve the best tone or projection as compared to a good cane reed that is working properly (compare the extreme altissimos where the reed realy has to earn its keep).

From what I have read they are a little squeeky in the altissimos and command more control. As beginner of a few months I can't get into the altissimo range yet so that isn't a problem for me right now. I really like the convienience and I can't tell the differance in tone. That may change down the road when I'm better though.
