Re: Plastic Reeds for an Outdoor Performance of the Weber Concertino?

Thanks all for the replies! Initially I was unsure of which Legere to get, but it seems like the Euro Signature is what most prefer. I ordered them last night on Amazon, so I will see how it sounds.

Thanks for those who gave me a good description of what it feels like playing on them and how they sound. I definitely need to try them out myself to see how it works for me, but getting the general idea of it is good to know. I really just need a synthetic reed (or any reed) that can allow me to play with proper control in a hot weather. And most of my audience are just residents of the community, so I'm not too worried about the color of my sound. And I will me mic'd up, so no worries about the lack of "Ping" to the sound that will probably reduce projection in a concert setting. Guess the Legere Euro Signature is worth a shot.

I'm going to start trying them as soon as I receive them to get used to them. Just a quick question: how many of you guys practice on Legere (to save the money and the time/frustration on finding good cane reeds) but still perform on cane reeds in the end? Is it easy to do?
