Legere Signature Tenor Saxophone Reed
A bright and stable reed coloured with a full spectrum of overtones. The reed is responsive and articulate due to its relative thinness versus the Classic. The Signature for Saxophone is recommended for solo, classical, or jazz studio players.
The Signature Series for Tenor Saxophone respond without hesitation. They are thinner and stiffer than a traditional cane reed, making them easy to play and beautifully free-blowing. They produce a pristine, centred sound with colourful overtones, inspiring you to create your best music.
Légère reeds are available for virtually all saxophones and have a beautiful tone and range, together with all the usual advantages of a synthetic reed.
This reed is medium-bright yet focused, which is why it’s used worldwide by advanced and professional players in both jazz and classical settings.
Materials
Légère reeds, made from polypropylene, are completely safe to use. This material is approved by the FDA for use in direct food contact applications and does not contain the chemical compound Bisphenol-A (BPA), which has been a recent concern in the media. In fact, those worried about BPA in baby bottles often recommend polypropylene as a safe alternative.
We process our polymer in a unique way that lines up the molecules themselves to match the stiffness and density of moist cane precisely. We do not add glass fibres or any chemicals. Some characteristics of our material:
- It doesn’t have to be preconditioned before playing.
- It does not absorb water.
- It is completely non-toxic.
- It can be sanitised.
- It is extremely tough, and it will last a long, long time.
Of course, the best thing about our material is its sound. Even with all of the advantages of a synthetic, you wouldn't spot our reeds on the stage at the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra if the sound wasn't wonderful.
