Re: reed profile vs. intonation

I have known Legere reeds to play flatter than cane reeds, but that is really fascinating that it is changing the tendencies for some notes.

I think the reason for the difference in pitch, overall, is that Legere reeds are very responsive and flexible, especially if you are playing the European cut, so they require less embouchure pressure which creates a flatter pitch.

Since it takes a little bit different air and embouchure pressures to get the right sound I suppose that could also account for some of the change in individual note tendencies as well.
