 Legere Synthetic Reed: Worth my $30?
Author: as9934

I am starting marching band camp on monday and am looking into getting a synthetic reed for outdoor performances. I have heard good things about the Legere Signature reed and am leaning toward it over the Forestone reeds. I have a couple of questions about them though:
1. Do you prefer the Legere Signature or the Forestones?
2. Are they worth the $25-30 they are going to cost me per reed? Why are they better than cane for outdoor performance? are the brighter/louder? More consistent? Why should I get these over a box of Reserve Classics for Marching Band?
3. Will they work with my 5RV Lyre and/or Vandoren B45? Metal or Rovner Style Ligature?
4. Do they taste bad?
5. What size should I order? 3.5? 3.25? 3.75? I currently use Rico Grand Concert Select Thick 3.5. Is there a break in process?
6. Can I use them for jazz? Classical?
