I have a number of Legere Signature reeds in a couple of different strengths which generally played very well for me when I first purchased them, 6 months to a year ago.
I have been playing on cane reeds fairly exclusively for the last few months, but have been keeping the LS in my case as a back-up if needed.
When I play these Legere's now, they all seem to have become considerably harder and quite stuffy, to the point where I really cannot use them in actual playing situations, whereas I used several of them very successfully in a show last Spring. Nothing has changed in my set up since then, same mouthpiece, horn, etc, and I doubt that my embouchure has changed (my practice routine is the same.)
Has anyone else experienced this negative change in these reeds? I don't know if it's the aging of the reeds, the fact that they haven't been played lately, or some other factor.
I really would like to be able to have these Legere's be a consistent back-up for my cane reeds, but this batch has become unuseable.
Any thoughts?
