Legere French Cut 3 3/4 Reeds for clarinet Bb
Légère Reeds
Cane is a unique material—lightweight, yet very stiff along the grain. That combination is what makes it vibrate so well. Reproducing those properties in a synthetic material isn't easy—but it’s exactly what the company has done.
Légère 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 the company strengthens 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 the Légère material doesn’t absorb moisture, the 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.
