"I have been playing with Legere Reeds for six years now. From the launch of the Signature Series-European cut for clarinet the reeds have improved in many aspects: production of sound ( homogeneous quality), the reeds are durable and stable (regardless of humidity and temperature, they provide a very versatile sound in all registers and a wide range of dynamics, from pp to ff with extraordinary quality. This allows performers to play with purity and flexibility in the sound."- Jesus
