So I bought a Legere studio cut today for my tenor, and I love the sound. The only problem is that it have absolutely no altissimo. I was using a RJS 2h or 3s, or similar reeds, and bought a Legere SC 2.25. Is the reed just too soft, or is there something about Legere that limits altissimo? Do I just need to work at it?

Yes, I had a fairly decent altissimo range from F# to D, but have pretty much nothing except the occasional F# now.

I could exchange it, but I want to wait untill my Barone comes in. I am using a Rousseau Studio Jazz 6, which is a tad smaller than the Barone 8 I am getting.

I would have bought a 2.5 or even 2.75 in the first place, but all Prowinds had was the 2.25.

Thanks
