★ Notes on Legere Reed Strength ★

On alto I normally play RSJ 3M, according to the Legere Reed Strength chart, I should be playing on a Legere Signature 3.25 I have one of those as well and it it's way too resistant for me.

According to their chart, the 2.75 Legere Signature reed I played in the video is supposed to be the equivalent of a 2H or 3S Rico Select Jazz.

The Vandoren Java 3 filed I played on alto was slightly softer than the 2.75 Legere signature but according to their chart, it should be harder.

For me the Legere 2.75 is more like a Rico Select Jazz 3H and the 3 would be like a Rico Select Jazz 4S.

I also have a 3, 3.25 and 3.5 Legere all of which are too hard for me to play.

On tenor I found the same thing. The 2.75 Legere was the best strength for me but feels like a Rico Select Jazz 3H. The 3 Legere feels more like a Rico Select Jazz 4S and the stronger reeds are much too hard for my setup.
