Re: Legere Signature as "baseline" reed?

The Signature seems to articulate a bit better than the other cuts, and also has more center to the sound ... more center sometimes to the point of a brittle quality. This reed really adds more ping and projection to my M13 MPs and to my M30-lyre (which I normally use VD blue box).

I'd like to try an M15, which I hear is even more "covered" but also articulates better ... (?)

Every now and then I run through my shoe box full of MPs, maybe even play a different one for a couple of days ... but always return to an M13 for "polite" playing in small ensembles ...

I don't know why there is such mixed luck with Legere ... maybe something with an asymmetry in some embouchures or more pressure that damages them or something ... sounds like a study and white paper is due ...

Again, I don't use Legere for the stability or life, I like how they sound and work for me.

Tom
