Full View Full Constantly pushing the boundaries of scienceCane is a unique material. Its low density combined with incredible longitudinal rigidity makes this organic material very complex. And although recreating these properties in a synthetic material is convoluted and problematic, they’re essential for producing a good reed.This is where Légère’s scientists come in. Légère manufactures all of their reeds from a material called polypropylene. This non-toxic plastic has a wide array of uses, and is commonly found in food containers, rugs, packaging, and many other products. But because of the flexibility of raw polypropylene, it is far too soft to use as a saxophone reed. To fix this issue, Légère puts the plastic through a process called orientation. This secret process is what makes Légère reeds so special.Whereas traditional cane reeds need changing regularly, this Légère reed will last much longer due to its synthetic nature. And because Légère reeds do not absorb moisture, you can easily sanitise them with warm water and mild detergent.Precision engineeringThis is where science meets art. Légère understands the difficulties woodwind players have when playing cane reeds. Due to the complex organic structure of cane, it is difficult to make every single reed in a box the exact same strength. This is why many woodwind players try out reeds before going on stage, and why some professionals even make their own. You won’t get any of this hassle with Légère.Each and every Légère reed is cut using a 3-axis, computer numerically controlled (CNC) cutting machine. This means that every reed is the perfect strength – every time. And since Légère make their own material, there is zero possibility of any variation in structure. If you buy a Légère reed today, and another in two years’ time, they will be the exact same. Once they have been cut, each reed is individually strength tested, delicately sanded, and packaged by hand. It’s this care and attention to detail that makes Légère reeds so special.Légère Exchange policyAs an expression of confidence in their reeds, Légère are happy to offer an exchange service should the reed not be the correct strength. Simply follow this link to visit the Légère Exchange of Strength Policy page, complete the online form, and Légère will be able to exchange your reed.
