Re: Legere Signature reed

The balancing act of response, tone and tuning on the Legeres actually led me down the path of finding a particular cut and strength and then hunting down the right mouthpiece for it. So I'd say in your circumstance being "close" but not "there," the mouthpiece hunt may be the better way to go. With the Signatures, I just found the harder (or should I say too hard for me) versions to be less responsive, and yet I still did not get the dynamic contrast nor the ability to vary pitch as much as with cane. So my end result was not completely satisfactory on the Legeres but DO try the mouthpiece route as well as the harder Legere.
