Re: Legere Signature as

Author: TomS

Are you using the Legere Signature on your M13?

I use a Classic cut #3 or #3.25 and occasionally Signature and Quebec on my M13s. Lately I've been sanding the reed about 1/2 mm narrower, with the Classic. This gives it a little more center and allows more side-to-side adjustment room.

Other than that, a good V12 3.5 or maybe 3.5+ works well.

I play a fairly easy setup ... not a lot of air pressure required.

I like the warm, compact sound and "hold" that the M13 has ... I prefer it to the M13-lyre (at least this week ...).

Each Legere model has it's own unique usefulness.

I actually prefer the Legere sound over cane reeds. Once you find the right Legere for your MP and adapt to it, you will appreciate it more, and find cane harder to return to ...

It does take a while for the Legere reeds to break-in (believe it or not!) ... so give it a couple of days ...
