Hi All;
Time to chime in again about my Legere experiences.
To date, I have performed over 50 WICKEDs on Broadway, 12 concerts at various NYC venues (Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, etc.), Westchester's Purchase College with Itzak Perlman conducting, and numerous jingles in the studios, all on 2 Legere "Signature" reeds!
That said, all the feed-back I've received has been positive, in some cases, they didn't believe I was using a synthetic reed. My reaction to my own recording in the studio was interesting. I sounded different than I had sounded months before on my cane reeds. Better, not as good, or perhaps, just different?
It might be interesting to note, the Pro-Tools used to record us showed my sound to have more "highs" or a slightly brighter sound. This kind of sound is great for commercial recordings & Broadway, but, these days, not as desirable on the Concert Stage. So, I've upped the strength 1/4 to achieve a slightly "darker" sound for my concerts, and it works!
I am very curious and interested in your Forestone synthetic reeds. If they are as good as some of you say, I'd be thrilled to try them and perhaps use them. Who shall I contact at Forestone to get a good sample to try?
Again, I think we are getting very close to seeing the future of synthetic reeds becoming the standard, along with cane reeds used whenever we need them. I am not suggesting any of you throw away your old cane reeds, on the contrary, use them along side the great new products on the market that are synthetic and terrific!
Perhaps a new age has arrived, and with less "reed hassles."
