I have been playing Légère reeds for 15 years now for several reasons; first of all they never change, even when it’s too hot, cold or moist. Second, they make the sound warmer and sweeter. Deep sounds are brighter as well. Furthermore, they enforce top tones and they whole sound range becomes perfectly homogeneous. Last but not least their lifespan cannot be underestimated, as it is much longer than any traditional reed!
