While I know (and respect) that there are players who have switched to synthetic and are completely happy, for me, there is nothing like cane in sound and feel. It may be just that old habits die hard, but to me, the drawbacks are minimal and there are many more positives. Again, I recognize that there are plenty of folks who disagree or have different experiences, and I respect that.

FWIW- I did try to use Legeres for a time and found that for me they did not feel consistent from day to day and from reed to reed. Perhaps that is in part because I found that the slightest variation in placement (up/down and side to side) changed the playing characteristics considerably and much more than cane. I would often find the optimum placement and then just leave the reed and ligature intact between rehearsals and performances.

When I would put on a cane reed, it felt far more comfortable to me and I felt I was able to get more nuance and variations in tone color. The comfort level was much like slipping into those nice comfy shoes that you have broken in over time.
