Legere French Cut Hardness Comparisons?

Author: BarrelOfMonkeys

Anyone want to comment on Legere French Cut's strength compared to the previous reed you were used to?

I played a European Cut 2.75 and bought a French Cut 2.75 and then a 3.0. The 2.75 was perfectly comfortable out of the box. The 3.0 will take some getting used to, but it feels like I'm not jumping up an entire 1/4 strength. It's a smaller leap than that.

I'm asking because some people don't want to take a leap of faith trusting Legere's strength comparison charts. I found them to be accurate in my case. Some people also don't want to buy 2 or 3 reeds hoping that 1 of those will be suitable.

So share your stories if you got 'em.
