"The Légère reeds finally gives me the opportunity to play different kinds of repertoire from classical to contemporary without having to change reeds between pieces. I love how they make my horn sound smooth and mellow in all the registers, no matter on which saxophone! Extended techniques like slap tonguing, multiphonics and circular breathing are easier to use with the great stability of the Légère Reeds.”"- Louis-Philippe
