Previously purchased additional reeds from Backun. Moved away from cane reeds last year and never looked looked back. Sounds great with my Vocalese mouthpiece and MoBa barrel and Beta clarinet.

I bought two legere reeds. Both play really well. Complex tone, good response and, of course, no modification needed. I know they’ll last for weeks if not months and give me hours of practice time instead of reed-fixing/testing/frustration time.

I started using my new Legere reed this week and wow...I'm blown away! For me the combination of the Vocalise mouthpiece and the Legere reed is perfect and I can truly recommend it to any clarinetist!

I've been going back-and-forth with the various Legere reeds for some time finally settling on the European cut. I've tried various strengths with various mouthpieces searching for a combination that would play with ease and sound good throughout the chalumeau, clarion and altissimo range. Recently I also experimented with the new Venn for Bb clarinet and was almost seduced by it's ease of play and dark tone. But the Venn had trouble not going flat in the altissimo range, so I've gone back to the Legere. I've also gone through a number of mouthpieces to get the right match. Started with an M30 for awhile, then a C85-120, then to a 5RV and finally to a 5RV lyre which seems a great match for the Euro cut in a 3.0 strength reed. Easy, easy play and great sound!

This order from Backun were my 2nd & 3rd reeds in 2.75 strength for my Vocalise G mouthpiece which sounds so well with my MoBa barrel and Beta clarinet.

I have used Légère European Cut clarinet reeds for a couple of years with moderately good success. There has been considerable variability with a specific strength. The most recent Légère reed I received from Backun was a new release from Légère. The packaging was different, the strength was right on, the number of the strength was printed on the base of the reed, the surface of the base of the reed was less polished and holds in the ligature better, the responsiveness was improved. Everything about Légère’s new upgrade is first class—except the new carrying case for an individual reed is bulky and difficult to put the reed back in after use. Over all I say Congratulations to Légère for this upgrade. GSF
