Jose Franch-Ballester Prefers Légère Reeds

Légère Artist Jose Franch-Ballester shares his thoughts on Légère reeds and the future of clarinet.

[@NikolajLepka]

honestly my biggest gripe was just buying a box of reeds and having to go through five or six of them until I found one that sounded good on that particular day.
I'm excited to get a Légère reed and try it out for the first time.
Here's hoping I picked the right hardness

I hope you enjoy it! If the strength is wrong, please visit legere.com/exchanges and we will happily adjust for you. Thank you!

@ most of them works very well. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Switched to Legere Signature for alto sax and love it, but just cannot get used to them for clarinet. Even with quarter strengths, cannot find the right balance of response on clarinet, compared with Vandoren. They either feel too light or too heavy.

Agreed I usually play on a 3 1/5 on a Vandoren Blue Box reed, but I tried a Legere European reed on a 3.25 and a 3.00 but its either too resistant or too light

What case was he using?

[@mambojazz1]

Cant understand your question

[@ethanweisman3577]

Like the case that his clarinet was in at the beginning of the video

[@lawson9815]
