Legere has kept in touch with me this entire time, mainly about the reed not fitting my oboe. They emailed me a few days ago that they have made a new Legere reed that has a smaller staple, which is currently being sent to distributors. They offered to replace my original reed for free (which often got stuck in my oboe).

However, I told them I sanded down the reed to fit my oboe and they wouldn't take it anymore. A few days later, I accidentally crushed the reed with my fingers taking it out, the entire staple collapsed on itself. I used it for about 3 weeks for 3-4 hours every day, about 70 hours of playing time which is good. It was quite soft towards the end of its life, definitely the definition of free blowing.

And yes, Forrests does offer returns. I emailed them and they said "Yes, we can take back the Legere reeds. Since they are plastic, they can be sterilized."

I'm immediately buying another Legere reed once I can get my hands on the reeds with the smaller staples. I also recommend sandpaper if you want to make the reed less resistant.
