 Re: Legere signature European cut

Received mine yesterday (ordered from Woodbrass, France). I ordered 3.5 and 3.75
I usually play vandoren traditional 3.5 but tend to have to buy a box of 3.5 and 4 at the same time to get 6-10 good reeds close to the exact strength I like with minimum work. This works across the three mouthpieces I use interchangeably: ESM MCK1, Hawkins R, Behn Vintage C.
I am quite impressed. They certainly are surprisingly different in dimensions to regular signatures - much wider and significantly shorter vamp. Almost like a sax reed. Unexpectedly they feel very comfortable in the mouth. The 3.5 is too soft for me but the 3.75 spot on. Settled in well after an hour or so. Free blowing but very full tone and articulation works fine. Probably could play a 4 but not sure I need to push it if stability sustains. Positioning on mouthpiece seems critical - slightly above tip gives best result I find.
I think I could really work with this. The big question is whether Legere have cracked the issue with consistency reed to reed. I have had a good regular signature before (not as good as this) but could not rely on continuity. I will try to exchange the 3.5 and if there is consistency I will switch from cane.
