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.

Good reeds

I’ve heard that the légère reeds tend to be thicker than other 3.5s but it plays perfectly and gets the job done

Amazing reed for playing in a marching band

I bought one of these reeds at a Long and McQuade recently as well as a tenor version of it and I was completely surprised by it's playability and tone in relation to other brands of synthetics I've tried. Because I play so often, I can usually go through a box of 5 cane reeds in a few weeks, but this reed really extended how long I can play with a singular reed with its amazing durability and slight flexibility in the tip. I would highly recommend this to my friends and family or anyone reading this review.

Great for marching band

I bought this reed at a Long and McQuade recently and I was completely surprised by it's playability and tone in relation to other synthetics I've tried. Because I play so often, I can usually go through a box of cane reeds in a couple of weeks, but this reed really extended how long I can play with one reed. I would highly recommend this to my friends and family or anyone reading this review.

Great for Classical Music

I use it as my backup for classical music with a Yamaha 5C mouthpiece and it sounds great. Better than cane reeds and lasts forever. A+

Consistency!

Synthetic reeds are perfect for anyone who needs consistency. These reeds respond the same way every time. Heat? Humidity? Putting the horn down for five minutes? For a hour? Doubling? These are the environments where synthetic reeds shine.

Thank you for the review! We're happy you had a great experience.
