I had a chat with Guy Légère outside the shop before I went home (around 4:30pm) and he's not going to put them into production until they've got them absolutely right.

At present, the prototypes play beautifully in the lower register and lower half of the upper register, but when it comes to anything above G they require some lipping up to get the top notes playing up to pitch which can get very tiring on the chops - have to admit I started getting tired chops after a while, but it was good to be able to have this opportunity to try out something to get an idea of what it will bring and all feedback and comments on these reeds made have been taken on board by loads more players and players of far more experience than came to try out the reeds today.

I do wish Guy Légère the best in this venture as it will make life so much easier for players who just want to play and not have to worry about the reed drying out or changing on a daily basis due to humidity fluctuations.
