Re: Legere Reed Observations

My first thought is......YES. Oddly, if you start off too hard on the scale of what would work for you on your mouthpiece, the Legere European Signature Bb clarinet reeds (and the "sister" Signature Soprano sax reeds) just come of unresponsive and (if it were cane) "soggy." Also if you decide to try the Signature Soprano Saxophone reeds you'll need to take that down another quarter strength off the strength that will ultimately work with the European Signatures.

The hunt for the right strength is a bit of a process but well worth the effort. Order a passel of different strengths through Amazon (returnable) and give yourself a week or so to get to a point where you say to yourself, "Hmmm I wish this was just a bit harder."

My first reaction to those that were too soft was, "wow this is great!" Then in about two hours (or four days for harder strengths) they would sort of collapse on me.
