Professor of Woodwinds at Houston Baptist University

"As a woodwind doubler, I rarely spend a great deal of time on one instrument. As I found myself, with more and more work, I was devoting a great deal of time to keeping reeds broken in” and ready to go. Maintaining 10 different setups (jazz and classical for 6 different instruments) grew to be unmanageable. I was introduced to Légère reeds by a fellow artist and was floored. I had reeds that gave me everything I wanted with none of the heartache. I’ve switched on every setup and haven’t looked back."- Aaron
