Re: Legere with basset horn?

I've tried Legere Signature alto sax reeds on a Vandoren BD5 with my Leblanc basset horn. For me, 2.75 strength worked best, but ultimately I wasn't happy with the sound and flexibility of response on the basset horn compared with a good cane reed.

I'm not anti-plastic generally, and routinely use Legeres on bass and Eb. They just don't seem to do it for me on basset horn. The setup worked better on alto clarinet, so the Legere is now in my alto case as an option for that.
