Not just for Clarinet!!
I have been using Legere reeds on all of my instruments ( I'm a muti-instrumentalist: Saxes, Clarinets - Eb to Bass, and Flutes) for over ten years. I have tried the different Legere cuts and, for me, the clarinet European cut works, and sounds, the best.
These reeds are considerably wider than a 'normal' clarinet reed, which might scare one when first opening the box. This appears to have no effect on their playing performance. What I have found is that they also work better on Soprano sax than the Legere Signature Soprano sax reeds. I can also say the same for the Tenor saxophone signatures and European cut Bass clarinet versions... the Tenor reeds are better on Bass clarinet than the European cut! Whatever, this does mean that I save money in the long term by swapping reeds between instruments. I do feel that their consistency may have deteriorated from when I first started using them, and have also read this on several forums, so it isn't just my opinion. For the work I do, orchestral, music theatre, and film scores, they are perfect. Expensive, but worth their cost in my opinion, and... none of my colleagues have noticed any sound difference between these and a natural reed... and I use them for classical recitals as well!
