The Classic, synthetic reed designed by Légère, is a classic saxophone reed but nevertheless resolutely modern.
A reed that stays the same after an hour as after 300.
If Légère is attracting more and more saxophonists, it is above all because once taken out of its case, it will always behave in the same way and this, even after several months of use. With its thicker tip, it delivers a darker and pure sound, with few harmonics. All saxophonists who mix their sound with that of a group will be conquered by this reed.
Light, engineering at the service of musicians.
If the Légère reeds are considered as true technological masterpieces, it is because they arose from the meeting of two scientists. Guy Légère, chemist (doctorate at McGill University) and clarinetist, and Mark Kortschot, specialist in composite materials (doctorate at Cambridge University), worked together to find and develop the material that would be best suited to offer optimal longevity and acoustic qualities. The Light reeds are the fruit of this collaboration which has continued since 1998.
Légère reeds are made from polypropylene. This non-toxic material has been approved for direct use in contact with food, these reeds are completely safe to use.
Légère has adopted a particular process, the molecules of the material align in order to precisely adapt the rigidity and density, to be as close as possible to the traditional reed reed.
Lightweight does not add any fiberglass or other chemicals.
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 over time.
Obviously, the most important thing about these reeds is the sound.
Even with a very refined ear, you could not distinguish a traditional reed from a Light synthetic reed, even on the stage of a large Philharmonic Orchestra.
