As I type, I am sitting with two new Legere Signature reeds in front of me, fresh from Muncy Winds today ... thought I'd try a couple of #3 strength, see how they are on some more open and resistant MPs.
For the 1st 30 minutes, not impressive ... edgy, stuffy, uneven. For, the next 30 minutes they are starting to loosen up, more uniform, less edge, better articulation. Sit them aside in a warm room, eat dinner and come back in 2 hours Now better than before, and with a sweetness surrounded by a warm covering starting to emerge ...
In a couple of days they will improve more and stabilize, with a slow decline in response over several weeks. I rotate about 4 reeds and after a while, move a new one in the mix and put the one that is getting the mushiest in storage.
They work! Just be patient. Success is mostly by finding the right combo of MP and reed cut and strength. So, your M13 and strength of Legere Signature might not be the best combination for you.
