Description

Légère Signature, a wider and shorter reed for stage musicians who wish to impose their sound.

The Signature, the reed of YOUR sound.
A reed shorter, wider, thinner than the Classic, this is what characterizes this Signature model. This particular design produces a clear, colorful sound of a wide spectrum of harmonics. With its quick response and great freedom of articulation, this reed is especially recommended for soloists, classical musicians or jazzmen, who share the same goal: the search for a personal sound signature.

Light, engineering at the service of musicians.
If the Légère reeds are considered as true technological masterpieces, it is because they come from the meeting of two scientists. Guy Légère, a chemist (Ph.D. at McGill University) and clarinettist, and Mark Kortschot, a specialist in composite materials (Ph.D. at Cambridge University), worked together to find and develop the material that would be most suitable for offer optimal longevity and acoustic qualities. Lightweight reeds are the result of this collaboration that has been going on since 1998.

Lightweight reeds are made from polypropylene. This non-toxic material has been approved for direct use in food contact, these reeds are completely safe to use.
Légère has adopted a particular process, the molecules of matter are aligned in order to precisely adapt rigidity and density, to be closer to the traditional reed reed.
Lightweight does not add any fiberglass or any other chemical.

Characteristics of this material:
- It does not need to be pre-conditioned before being played
- It does not absorb water
- It is not toxic
- It can be disinfected
- It is extremely durable in time.

Of course, the most important thing about these reeds is the sound.
Even with a very refined ear, you would not be able to distinguish a traditional reed from a lightweight synthetic reed, even on the stage of a large Philharmonic Orchestra.

The reed is a bit expensive but it's a real pleasure to play with: ease of emission, sound stability, possibility to easily vary dynamics, to make effects... Before buying, make sure to check the strength correspondence with the reed model you currently use (correspondence chart available on Légère's website).
