Are synthetic clarinet reeds good?
Although these synthetic reeds are great and some are even superior to a traditional cane reed. I would still recommend playing with the traditional reed for some years then switch to synthetic reeds.
How long do synthetic clarinet reeds last?
The use of a synthetic material ensures the Légère reeds last much longer than their natural counterparts. Players can get anywhere between two and six months of use out of them, depending on intensity of use.
How long do Legere synthetic reeds last?
While the lifetime of the reeds differs based on the amount it is used, most musicians agree that with proper care, one Légère reed will last for months. Students are typically able to have one reed last the entire scholastic semester or even longer.
Are plastic reeds good for clarinet?
Using a Plastic Reed
Plastic reeds are less resistant and allow you to produce a much louder and clearer sound that can be heard off the field better. Plastic reeds also don't adjust to temperature or humidity changes, therefore they are perfect for playing outdoors.
