I tried Forestone a few years ago but gave them up quickly. I then learned about specially prepared Légère reeds from my teacher who was a dedicated traditional reed user. They were sold by PlayNick in Austria (PlayEasy reeds). I tried them and really liked them. My teacher quickly adopted them too and we have been using them now for over a year. Recently I tried the new Légère Signature European Cut and fell in love with them. I still use traditional reeds from time to time. In some pieces I love them for their warmer tone, but more often then not I find them too "dark" and prefer the brighter sound the synthetic reeds give me. Add to that the fact that they just "work" and I don't have to sift through a box to find some good ones. Also, they last quite a long time. Synthetic reeds have become vastly better than they used to be!
PS. Check whether the Légère European Cut reeds fit your mouthpiece. I gather from my reseller that people have complained they do not always fit. I have had no such problems on my PlayNick PlayEasy B2 mouthpiece nor on my Maxton D9-5 (both for Boehm clarinet).
