I usually play van Doren red (filed), 2½, but have issues when playing gigs, because I mostly play keys and only play the sax occasionally, so the reed tends to dry out. I have had no issues with the transition, and still feel I get the 'wooden' sound on this read. I might consider swithing completely when my stash of reeds have been used up.

This is a big finger to all the reed snobs out there.
Why on earth would you continue with the cane reeds when a superb product like this is available? 1) No mold issues, 2) plays the same everytime, so if one time you struggle to get a good tone, you know it's you and not the reed, 3) no pre-wetting required, 4) when you pause a while to drink a beer, the reed doesn't dry out on the mouthpiece, so no re-wetting, 5) the sound is excellent, you can play softly, but also scream with your sax !!
I've seen (and heard) the reviews of cane vs Legere, but I guess if you don't have Superman ears or some sort of electronic device to measure the difference, you won't hear a difference. All the sax snobs that say they do, I don't believe. I certainly don't. Anyway, these are the best reeds money can buy, but I hope the price will come down in future.

Leichte Ansprache

Die Kunststoffblätter wurden in den letzten Jahren in der Verarbeitung und vom Sound her erheblich verbessert. Ich vermute dies ist der Faserung auf der Rückseite geschuldet. Die Blätter sprechen gut an über alle Oktaven, sie sind eine sehr gute Alternative zu den Holzblättern, da langlebiger und immer sofort in allen Tonlagen ansprechend. Die Stärke 2.25 hat natürlich nicht den vollen satten Ton wie ein 3.0, aber es kommt ja darauf an, welchen Sound man erzeugen will. Also direkt spielbereit, für Boogie woogie, Blues gut geignet.
