Re: Legere French cut Tenor sax reed on bass clarinet

Personally, I never liked any of the Legere bass clarinet reeds. Some time ago, someone on this forum suggested the Legere tenor sax studio cut, which I tried and liked it very much, more than any other synthetic reed, however I was never sold on them 100%.

I did play the studio cut for a couple of years and finally went back to cane.

After reading about the French cut bass reeds, I ordered one and tried it out. Like suggested, I ordered a 1/4 stronger and gave it a shot. I'll say it's a step in the right direction, for sure, for the bass clarinet line, but I still don't like it as much as the studio cut. I'll stay with cane.

FWIW, the most consistent cane reed I've found is the Nexus tenor sax reed. They only make sax reeds and most of them need no adjustments. They play great right out of the box.
