I've played this about twice and then stored it. I think this European cut sounds much better than the Légère Signature model. It feels lighter than the blue box 3.0 (I found it too light, so I'm selling it). This is an excellent synthetic reed that frees you from the inconsistencies of cane reeds and the difficulty of playing due to dryness from air conditioning. A new one costs about ¥5,000, so please give it a try. Washed with water and disinfected with alcohol. - Cut: European Cut - Size: 3.25 - Brand: Légère Thank you for looking.
