Benjamin Harrison

Cirque Du Soleil Performing Artist

Australia

I’ve been playing Légère Signature Series synthetic reeds since 2010 and have been continually impressed by their playability, longevity and responsiveness throughout the entire range of the instrument. As a touring musician, being able to use a reed straight out of the pack under any weather condition and knowing that it will play consistently 100% of the time allows me to concentrate on my performance and completely eliminates the inconvenience of temperamental and inconsistent cane reeds. I feel excited and privileged to be part of the Légère Reeds family and I highly recommend them to all saxophonists and clarinetists – once you’ve discovered how good they are for yourself, you’ll never go back to cane reeds!
