Re: Legere European cut with CL4

I am playing this combination (with Legere EC strength 3). It has a very nice sound (a bit warmer as with cane reeds). The responsiveness is slightly less than cane, but since the CL4 is very responsive, this does not hurt. The only issue I have is that the intonation is a bit low, especially in the upper register. So I can't use it for the orchestra (German orchestras usually play at 443 herz, even amateur ones). But it is a great reed for practice.

The strength 3 is comparable with Vandoren Rue Lepic 3 and is a bit too soft for me. If you use Blue Box strength 3 I whould suggest at least 3 1/4.
