My bass clarinetist husband is delighted with this Legere synthetic bass clarinet reed, at the 2.50 strength. He is so delighted that he can just pick up his instrument and play! No reed sucking needed. The tone and control are excellent. He highly recommends this reed, and wonders why it took him so long to buy one for himself. 5 Stars!The seller that we purchased it from was a bit slow in sending, but this is a review of the reed only.

We got the Légère Reeds Premium Synthetic Woodwind Reed, Signature Strength 3.00, for my daughter's bass clarinet, and it has been a game-changer for her. Having played the clarinet for three years and now in the 8th grade, she's found the synthetic reed to be far superior to the wooden reeds she used before. Here's why we're sticking with it:Durability is a massive plus. She's been using the same reed for over three months without any sign of wear or need for replacement. This is a big deal compared to the wooden reeds, which seemed to break all too easily and required frequent replacements.The synthetic reed's resilience to heat and its robust construction means it doesn't break easily - a quality very much appreciated. Moreover, my daughter has noticed a significant improvement in her playing: the clarinet doesn't squeak with this plastic reed as it did with wooden ones, leading to a smoother and more enjoyable playing experience.Considering she's heading into marching band next year, where the conditions can be more demanding, we believe the Légère synthetic reed will hold up much better. Its durability, combined with the high quality of sound and ease of use, makes it an ideal choice for any clarinet player looking for a reliable reed option. We plan to stock up on more of these synthetic reeds to support her continued musical journey. Highly recommended for its durability, quality, and the peace of mind it brings to both player and parent.

These are great reeds, but the listing needs to be corrected for accuracy.

I have been playing on Legere reeds on my contra clarinets for a while, but for whatever reason I haven't tried them on my bass until recently (probably mostly because I was using up my existing supply of cane reeds- waste not, want not). My last few cane reeds will probably ride around in my case unused for years now- I won't be going back. The Legere Signature reeds are responsive, consistent, and ready to go the second you tighten the ligature. They sound wonderful- I like my sound better on the Legere than on the cane, actually. I have been using Rico Grand Concert Select reeds, and find the Strength 3 Legere to be equivalent to somewhere between 2.5 and 3 on the cane reeds. I also tried a Legere Signature 2.75 and that is pretty close in strength to the Rico Grand Concert 2.5.At 6 or so times the price of the cane reeds I've been using, they're not cheap, but considering only about 1 out of every 2 or 3 of the cane reeds truly satisfied my expectations, the Legere is realistically more like 3 or even 2 times the price per usable reed. With the increased longevity that I expect, it should come out at least even, or more likely a better value on the Legere.

I have used synthetic reeds on my Selmer Bass Clarinet for years. Generally I used Fibrecell and they are fine quality. All synthetics are a little different, just like a cane reed, and you need to find one that fits. So, I decided to switch to the NEW Signature series. It responds like cane, is a little less vibrant than the Fibrecell and BARI. It works great on my Charles Bay. NOTE: these reeds run hard for me and I ordered a 2 (normally play a 3 or MH) and it was fine. Other variations of Legere have NOT worked for me but the SIGNATURE is a different animal.
