I agree with Jonathan. Being the occasional doubler and in my classroom always having a sax and clarinet ready to go for teaching purposes, I don't think they would even be investing in making Legere double reeds if they didn't think they could sell them to a decent number of professionals. Is a student really going to pay that much for a synthetic reed?

When they first came out for single reeds there was a tin of skepticism until people tried them. Now they are common place and some professionals even play on them. They are quite good. I do think they will be worth a try. And, I can buy 2 of three and have them last 6 months (by rotating) and not spend that amount of time making reeds only to have about 40 percent actually work then of course I will use them.

Cane quality as I think we will all agree is getting so inconsistent that we are all wasting a lot of money (climate change perhaps?). If they play well, sound good for mynstyle and horn, then damn right I. Going to try and use them.

Remember how many would play on nothing short of Loree fir so many years. There was talk that there were other great horns coming online....people finally gave them a try and now we are lucky to have so many different brands being played professionally and many choices. We inherently don't like change or,things that may "rock our world" but sometimes the come along and every new idea is worth a shot.

My .02 cents.
