Re: Legere reeds: Nice. But flat!

I admit I didn't check pitch between reeds when switching, but I was still able to pla in tune with legere.

One thing I'd recommend is trying to use them as exclusively as possible for at least a week to give yourself time to get used to the slightly different feel and "learn" it in a sense. Of course if there's some performance and you feel more comfortable on cane, go ahead, but practice, warmup, and rehearse with the legere for a week. Maybe it'll warm up to you?

I personally love the legere reed. I tried to go back to cane for about a month and got ticked off at one reed in a box being great and the others needing so much work before they sounded decent. I just plain don't want to spend the time working and adjusting and readjusting and breaking in reeds, and so far, no complaints about my sound. Technique? Maybe. Sound? No one yet.
