Zsofia Stefan

Award Winning Bassoonist
Hungary
"Légère Synthetic Reeds are so great, that I recorded my first CD (Exploring Enchanted Gardens), almost the whole album (10 composition out of 11) with them. I haven't played a cane reed for months, and I'm really happy this way! I use Légère reeds in the orchestra as well."- Zsofia
