      I have just gone back on to Legere (from Reeds Direct uk there about the cheapest) and really like it. the Rico cane 2.5 was really too hard for me my bottom lip was sore, and plus I went through a stage of damaging so many reeds, you know bending down to pick something up the tip just touches your head,,, oh no theres another reed gone.
      So I bought a Legere 2 , had it for a month now its so easy to play and no sore lip. It does get a little tired after about 45min it isn’t perfect but what is. Another plus for me is I can wash it.

      Soon be Christmas, if I’m good and practice Santa might bring me a 2.5
      hey 64 years old and still believe in Santa

      Cheers

        This is the lig I use the most it does give a better sound. It has the same idea the reed is free to vibrate. the name is http://www.saxxas.eu/ligature.html

          Hi Johnny ye the System 54 is a quality sax from Taiwan this one is a power bell with rolled tone holes in vintage gold. The keys have a nice feel under the fingers and I like the idea of rolled tone holes. I use a Otto Link HR 6 and a Otto link metal tone master

          The Walstein is one of the better Chinese saxophones I wanted to try a tenor to make sure I liked and this fitted the bill

              Looks great James, your right the sax just looks the business. When I get bogged down with a piece of music I just sit back and admire my System 54 in vintage gold. Need to work out how to post a pic
