Re: Legere European Signature Reeds

For me, yes, and yes. I also find them slightly flatter, but my mouthpieces tend to play a little sharp, so not a problem for me. I just pull the barrel out less. I don't know what you mean by "slimy" but they do seem to hold water differently on the back than cane reeds do. Maybe it's just that I can see it better on the Legeres. But I find I need to wipe them off more often. I also think - but it's hard to compare directly to cane - that I get water in the tone holes more quickly, so have to swab more often, with Legeres. I don't know why this would be, but empirically it seems to be so.
