Re: Legere Signature Bass Clarinet reed

I tried the Signature tenor sax reed and didn't like it at all. But I've never liked using a tenor reed on my bass whether cane or synthetics. For me they felt thin and 'reedy' (not cane) with little or no richness of sound. Sort of like when describing a person as having a reedy speaking voice.

I use the Legere regular bass reeds on a semi-regular basis and always for outside gigs. I'm not rushing to try the Signature due to it's price here (Toronto) at just shy of $40 which is almost double that of the regular model. Not yet convinced it's going to be twice as good and it would be nice to hear from those who consistently tout synthetic reeds as to their thoughts and experience.
