Légère reeds have come a LONG way since I first tried them about 15 years ago, and even since I made a video about them 6 years ago (see below). I gotta say, compared to Vandoren reeds, they're pretty much neck-and-neck. To me, Vandoren reeds have more of a "reed" feel, with a bit of a simulated reed texture in the mouth, where Légère reeds definitely feel smoother, and more "plastic-y."
Kind, yet opinionated people like you have written me long emails about how much they love (or hate) these reeds compared to how much they love (or hate) Vandoren VK1 reeds. (By the way, I really appreciate all of you who wrote.) And so I decided to carry these as well. Why not? About half of our customers like these better than VK1's.
Now, I do not carry all of the Légère varieties — I'm not a fan of the Classic or the Signature cuts at all — but I do like these European Cut reeds, and the new French Cut reeds.
