Re: Choosing Synthetic Reeds (Legree)

I have tried all models of Legere without much success. My synthetic reed of choice has been Forestone for many years on all of my clarinets and saxophones because they deliver a consistent quality throughout the entire range--especially high--and they are hassle free--no break in nor balancing required. Their tone quality is, imho, far superior to Legere and they articulate extremely well. I am currently auditioning some of the new Black Bamboo models of Forestone which are playing very well on both my Grabner K11* and vintage Chicago Kaspar #14 mouthpieces. In fact, I am performing Weber's "Fantasia and Rondo" this coming Thurs eve with a local wind ensemble and I will be using a Forestone Black Bamboo reed. And next week, I will be playing Williams "Viktors Tale" with another local band for which I will be using an older Forestone. Bottom line: I've tried the Legere's but prefer the Forestones. Cane......never, ever again.
