I played one of the European style Legere reeds for a few minutes last week. My impression was that the sound was very good and the intonation was excellent. Low note response was the only aspect of the reed's performance that I believed was a serious problem. I personally felt that the reed's opening was too small, and if this could somehow be remedied, the low notes would have responded more easily. Now I am extremely curious to hear what European-style reed makers think of these reeds, as this one didn't feel particularly "foreign" to me, an American oboist.
If I had $150 to spare, which I don't, I would buy one of these reeds to keep on hand as a conversation piece.
