I would say, as a current devote to the Legere European Signature reed, that it is more the trial period and thoughtful assessment of the OPERATOR that is required to fine tune what strength you need for Legere. Therefore (and I have been thinking about this A LOT lately) I'd advise sticking with cane until one has achieved a real mastery of the horn. ALTHOUGH, if you have a good strength that works great in Legere, $30 per one reed that lasts a year is much cheaper than $25.00 per box per month (at least by my accounting). Of course you have to make sure you don't accidentally destroy it as you try to put it in a reed guard while distracted by your BFF.

Vandoren would be great (V21s are really colorful and have backbone too!).

And though some of you seem to get Yamaha mouthpieces to work, I'd say go with a Vandoren M13, or a ESM MCK-1, or Fobes Debut (only $47.00 US dollars) rather than a 4c. I personally have NEVER had any luck with that mouthpiece other than as a door stop.
