"As a theatre musician, being able to pick up my horns and know the reeds will perform beautifully every time means I can concentrate on a great performance and not worry about my reeds. I'm currently playing A Chorus Line at the Stratford Festival using Légère reeds on clarinet/contrabass clarinet/baritone sax/bassoon"- Merlin
