Re: Legere Lifespan

In my many years of playing, I have seen a lot of attempts made to perfect a synthetic reeds. But the Legere' and some similar products have really gotten my attention. So, it is great to have these kinds of discussions on the BB.

The next topic of importance IMHO (and it has been discussed here and there) is how to adjust them. I have seen all sorts of ideas like a quick immersion in boiling water or light sanding.

Also, exact placement of the tip on the MP is another critical topic for me since just a smidge of change can make a huge difference.

PS I do not think that a beginning player should start on a synthetic reed, however. There is some "reed adjustment" learning that must take place first.
