Re: young student legere questions

I wonder if the argument to switch to Legere's because of the frequency with which the age group chips cane reeds is a good one.

Legere's may be tougher than cane in such regards, but by no means invincible, and certainly, on a reed per reed basis, multiple times more costly.

That may be an unfair comparison on play longevity provided reeds are retired because they're worn out, not damaged outside of play.

Then again, I wonder if Legere's ability to afford more consistency, turning the clarinet into more like a flute in terms of playing the same way each time, might result in lower drop out rates among beginning students.
