Re: Which Légère reed is closest to the blue box Vandoren Bb Contrabass reed?

In my opinion, Vandoren's blue box reeds are kind of the standard for manufacturers when creating a classic french style Clarinet reed. Then, it is very easy to find which reed would be the equivalent in other manufacturers, you just have to find which is their "classic" model.
Legere has the Classics, which would be like vandoren traditional, but it is aplicable to other brands too:
- D'Addario Reserve Classic
- Gonzalez Classic
- Marca Tradition
...and so on.
The key words are filed cut, classic, french style, regular french blank.
If it has a narrow blank or a thick blank, then the approach is not the same as Vandoren's Blue Box.
