WHY THEY WORK

The secret? A synthetic material unique to Légère, meticulous computer controlled processing operations

and a team of ambitious and hardworking individuals who passionately believe in the Freedom to Perform.

Materials
Design Process

Cane is a unique material—lightweight, yet surprisingly stiff along the grain. That unique combination is what makes it vibrate so well. Reproducing those properties in a synthetic material isn’t easy—but it’s exactly what we’ve done.


Our reeds are made from a special formulation of polypropylene—a non-toxic, food-safe polymer you’ll also find in medical equipment, yogurt cups, and packaging. On its own, polypropylene is far too flexible for a reed. So we strengthen it through a process called orientation, which aligns the polymer fibers to dramatically increase stiffness. That’s the secret to the signature feel and response of a Légère reed.


Because our material doesn’t absorb moisture, Légère reeds don’t need soaking, never warp, and are ready to play right out of the case. They’re durable, hygienic, and can be cleaned easily with warm water and a mild detergent. It’s cane—refined.

The Légère Guarantee

Légère Reeds wants you to be completely satisfied with your purchase.

Everyone can enjoy their Légère reeds if they find their right strength. This is why we are proud to provide an Exchange of Strength Program within 30 days of purchase. If you are unsatisfied with your clarinet or saxophone reed, please begin the exchange process regardless of where you purchased it in the world.

Please be assured returned reeds are discarded after a quality check and are never resold.

French Cut Tenor Sax Reed

I am using the New French Cut tenor sax reed on my bass clarinet and it works great!. The 2.5 plays very well on my Bay mouthpiece. Good "reedy" sound, crisp articulation, no stuffyness in the upper register. Recommended.

We're so thankful for your positive review and are glad you had a great experience!

Fantastic tone / no fuss

My new Légère French cut tenor sax reeds far exceeded my expectations. This is my first experience with synthetic reeds. They sound great right from the start. Smooth deep even tones with an hint of darkness. No fuss maintenance whatsoever.
I may never go back to traditional reeds. I will definitely buy these again.
A+ Légère.
Thanks, mike

First time

I was hesitant at first. But I have come to really enjoy the B flat Clarinet reed. Coming from Vandoren, I don’t think I’ll ever really go back, but I need a few more weeks to determine if it will be concert appropriate. I have friends who use this Reed for practice as well as concert performances and I hope to become a committed member of the Legere family of products

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to know you enjoyed your reed.
