Nothing is like cane
Nikolaos C. 24.09.2019
I tried them twice. The first time I bought a 2 1/2 like the Vandoren V16 I play but it was thin compared to what I was used to. Their body is also thinner than cane reeds, you need to tight your ligature more and sometimes it can damage your ligature. The worst thing was that the mouthpiece cap pressed against it because of it and the reed got bent and it wouldn't become straight again. On the second one I bought I was more careful. I bought a 2 3/4 and it was thick enough. I also took it off every time I played so it wouldn't bend by the cap. After a month of use cracks started forming and now I just keep it as a backup in case of emergency. Its sound compared to other plastic reeds I tried is much better but it still has too much mid frequencies. It's too sharp and it hurts your lips. Also, it's not that responsive and squeaking happens easily. You'll be better off buying cane reeds a bit thicker than you need and sanding them down to perfection. I find it too expensive for what it has to offer.

My choice is 2.0, got this 3.0 one to try different strengths and this turns out to be too much for my sound. Sometimes I use it to practice embouchure and overtones or a harder reed. If you are a beginner I recommend to start with a softer strength.

Tolles Blatt
HJ aus FO 06.06.2014
Ich spiele hauptsächlich in der Big Band - sowohl im Sax-Satz als auch Tenor-Soli.
Mein Mundstück ist ein Selmer Soloist. Ich habe schon alle möglichen (Holz)Blätter probiert und hauptsächlich Vandoren blau, Stärke 3, gespielt. Aber leider ist zu viel Unbrauchbares dabei, es klemmt im falschen Augenblick und Zeit und Geld geht drauf beim Suchen und Probieren.

Vor längerem habe ich mir ein erstes Legere Signature in Stärke 3 gekauft. Das hat auf Anhieb wunderbar funktioniert: Ansprache, Ton, alles wie bei einem sehr guten (Holz)Blatt. Nach drei Wochen habe ich mir ein zweites, identisches Blatt zugelegt. Ich spiele die beiden Blätter abwechselnd, nach Empfehlung von Legere (obwohl ich auch bei längerem Spielen kein Nachlassen des Blattes merke). - Inzwischen spiele ich die beiden Blätter seit einem guten halben Jahr. Was soll ich sagen, sie sind noch wie am ersten Tag.

Aufgrund meiner guten Tenorsax-Erfahrungen und wegen der hochrangigen Künstler, die für Legere werben (Larry Combs, die Ottensamer-Brüder ...), habe ich auch einen Test auf der Bb-Klarinette 'gewagt': Negativ - für mich keine Alternative zu einem guten Holzblatt. Allerdings kommt es wohl auch sehr auf das Setup an, und mit einem anderen Mundstück mögen durchaus auch gute Ergebnisse zu erzielen sein. Probieren geht hier wirklich über studieren.
