Re: Question about Legere European Cut

YES placement!!!! You don't have nearly the adjustability that exists with cane. The issue is that there is a very fine balance amongst the material and the various dimensions (width, length, vamp angle etc) to get the Legeres to work as well as they do. Going just slightly too far over the tip of the mouthpiece (check this from the side, NOT the front) causes the reed to loose responsiveness (and not just in a "heavy" way like cane).
