Karl...
I'm completely with you. I'm curious (and the rest of the Euro users) if y'all notice something. I feel, after getting use to playing on the new Legere model, I have to be more pure (textbook) with my approach to embouchure, et al.
The 'X' factor of fighting with cane (maybe it's not perfectly balanced or it's being influenced by the environment), I was involuntarily making adjustments to my embouchure, tongue position, air support, etc to get the quality I desired. Tone, clarity, response, and intonation was always in constant flux of physical changes from me to play. Obviously I wasn't consciously changing anything, but I am suspicious I was making the adjustments nonetheless.
After the learning curve and feeling 'the feel' of the Euro Signatures, I have to do exactly what I'm suppose to be doing. No cheating or extraneous manipulation required. For me, it seems to be a position side effect.
I'm almost (uncomfortably) implying Legere Euro Signature reeds have made me a better player. That's a leap I'm not quite ready to make. But it's a nice sentiment.
