Re: Choosing Synthetic Reeds (Legree)

Hi Dave:
My simple answer is:
I play at many venues here in NYC & always use a Legere reed!
As examples of my playing venues:
I play at Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops using a Legere, likewise with the American Composers Orchestra at Zankel Hall, also using a Legere reed. In both of those orchestras I am the Solo 1st. clarinetist & have not used a cane reed for years in our many concerts & recordings. In addition, the small amount of studio work that is left for us here in NYC, my choice has been to use the synthetic Legere reeds because they record better than cane reeds & are much more consistent.
So, I believe the many advantages that the synthetic Legere reeds have over cane reeds, not only works well in "doubling" situations like Wicked on Broadway, but also solo clarinet playing in orchestras and recordings.
