Re: New Synthetic Reed Reviews?

I've been playing on the Legere European Cut since 2016, and they've served admirably. Since my recent move to the US east coast, the issues with temperature and humidity changes have manifested themselves more with my cane reeds, to the point where there have been quite a few times when the synthetic has been a lifesaver.

I keep borrowing the words of Brad Behn on this topic: one really needs to play a mouthpiece that mitigates the issues of plastic, and provides a more cane-like experience for this to work. I've certainly tried Legere and others on some mouthpieces that will apparently never function in a satisfactory way with synthetics. They're also very finicky about placement--even a slight position difference L-R or up-down will dramatically affect the behavior of the reed.
