A great alternative to wooden reeds
If you're wondering how this reed compares to Legere, it's made of a different, drier, less pliable type of plastic, so it results in a different, much brighter sound. I found that it likes to squeak on mouthpieces with larger openings, and contrary to most synthetic reeds, this one needs to be slightly moist to be at its best.
It's partially made of bamboo fibre, so it's not going to last as long as fully synthetic ones. Still, it costs about as much as 4 wooden reeds and it's going to outlast them easily (considering using up 1 reed a week), so you're getting a lot of value for your money.
As a beginner, I found this reed to be very easy to play and it actually improved my sound when I was using a Yamaha 6C mouthpiece. Later on, I graduated to Vandoren V16 T7, which has a pretty large opening, resulting in the squeaks I mentioned. I would recommend it even as your first reed.
