"I had always played cane reeds because one, that's how I started and two, the sound and the response of cane reeds has for me has always been great. Finding great playing reeds was becoming more and more of a struggle. I had tried synthetics but hated the feel and sound of them so when I tried The Légère' Signature Series for tenor, I was sure I wouldn't like it. In fact I tried not to like it but, WOW ! I played it for a couple of hours and later played it on a gig. It's like having your new favorite reed every time you play. The best part is, every reed is consistent so, no more 1 or 2 good reeds out of a box of 5. I have not played on a cane reed since. Légère' Signature Series is my reed."- Anthony
