I don't quite understand why they are not more popular
I have been playing Legere Signatures for as long as I can remember. Tried many other synthetic reeds, and none came close. Well… these reeds may be it. They combine all the attributes of a Legere reed with the projection of a cane reed. The high register has substantially more body as well. A joy to play.
Note of caution: their strength is higher than the number may indicate. I play 2.75/3 Legeres, and a Venn 2.5 is just as stiff as a Legere 3.
As per the title of my review: why aren't they more popular? It's beyond me. It seems like the first generation of Venn's was sub-optimal. If so, those issues got fixed spectacularly.
