Materials ;
Légère clarinet and saxophone reeds are made from a unique synthetic polymer compound, unlike any other material in the world. Some basic information:
* Its properties are very similar to those of wet cane.
* It has a stiffness that we control.
* It doesn’t have to be preconditioned before playing.
* It does not absorb water.
* It is completely non-toxic.
* It can be sanitized.
* It is extremely tough and it will last a long, long, time.
The best thing about our material is its sound. Professional players often use the word “woody” to describe it, and we take this as the highest compliment. We know that you won’t believe it until you play the reed yourself. Give it a try.
Designed to the most exacting specifications, these reeds deliver all the depth and warmth that elite players demand. Our new Signature Series Reeds are the ideal solution for elite players looking for that something extra who haven’t yet found the perfect sound with our other reeds.
Months of testing with top professionals including Larry Combs and Barnaby Robson have demonstrated that the new reeds can add another dimension to the already rich Legere sound. Mr. Combs, former Principal Clarinet in Chicago, has said that the new reeds “feel and sound very natural.”
Signature Series reeds for Bb clarinet will be available in stores by early May 2009, and reeds for other instruments are expected to follow later in the year.
All of Légère's reeds come with a money-back guarantee in the U.S., Canada, and many other countries, so you can try the new Signature Series with no risk.
