"I believe these reeds are the future. They have obvious benefits for woodwind doubling (reeds never drying out, embouchure adjustment always exactly the same at every instrument change). But they're also great for me in my theater orchestra pit where it's as dry as a bone, and any inconsistency you get with a cane reed, woolliness, muddiness or graininess, is magnified. With the Légère reeds these inconsistencies have vanished. They're completely pure and clean sounding even in that dry environment and I'm forever thanking my lucky stars that I've got them. You can really trust them - and you can't with a cane reed. "- Brad

Most of Bradley’s performing time is occupied in theatre in London’s West End trebling on all saxes, clarinets and flutes. After starting out on several UK and European touring productions he has since been the chair holder in the West End on Stepping Out, Sweet Charity, Kiss Me Kate, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Billy Elliot The Musical and Book of Mormon. Bradley held the reed 1 player on Billy for nearly 10 years where he used Légère reeds on all the reed instruments he played in the show. He has now moved to Book of Mormon where he is still playing exclusively on Légère’s on every instrument.
