 Re: My report on Legere reeds.

I have tried all models of the Legere reed quite extensively for over the past four years, but have discarded them all for the new Forestones. For me, they produce a more refined sound quality, especially in the upper register, and blend more effectively with the ensemble while still "projecting" for soloist needs. I recently performed Peter & the Wolf on a Forestone -3 reed and the cat's trip up the tree was a quite successful journey, especially the "graceful" conclusion to the frantic climb--F#6, etc. The reed played the same from beginning to end in both performances, as well as during the rehearsal--and is still "going strong" playing with consistant response, dynamic flexability and great tone quality in all registers. The only similarity I find with the Legere's is the lack of cane related hassels. For me, the new Forestone reeds have the "edge" over all models of the competition.

FWIW dept: I play a vintage Chicago Kaspar #14 mouthpiece on my set of Buffet R13s, but can report that the Forestone reed plays equally as well on either of my Gregory Smith "Cicero" Kaspar or "Chedeville" 1* model mpcies. I do still play a #3 Legere reed on my Grabner CX_BS bass clarinet mouthpiece, but I suspect only until Forestone comes out with their anticipated bass clarinet reed........
