I have been playing clarinet for just over a year. I became frustrated with the inconsistency of cane reeds and all the palaver of soaking them and breaking them in. I tried various brands of reed including Vandoren blue box, Vandoren V12, Rico and La Voz. I tried a Fibracell reed and this was an inprovement but the sound was a littel rough to my untutored ear! The Legere reed played straight out of the package and, with a little adjustment to my embouchure gives a good sound across the range and a quick response. At 67 I play for fun and will never grace the Albert Hall so this reed will do me fine and hopefully last long enough to be more economic than buying cane reeds.
