A durable and darker reed with fewer overtones than the Signature. A thicker tip and heart produces a purer tone with fewer complexities. The Classic for Saxophone is the recommended cut for marching band performers and those blending their sound with a large ensemble.

WHY THEY WORK

The secret? A synthetic material unique to Légère, meticulous computer controlled processing operations

and a team of ambitious and hardworking individuals who passionately believe in the Freedom to Perform.

Materials
Design Process

Cane is a unique material—lightweight, yet surprisingly stiff along the grain. That unique combination is what makes it vibrate so well. Reproducing those properties in a synthetic material isn’t easy—but it’s exactly what we’ve done.


Our 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 we strengthen 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 our material doesn’t absorb moisture, Légère 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.

The Légère Guarantee

Légère Reeds wants you to be completely satisfied with your purchase.

Everyone can enjoy their Légère reeds if they find their right strength. This is why we are proud to provide an Exchange of Strength Program within 30 days of purchase. If you are unsatisfied with your clarinet or saxophone reed, please begin the exchange process regardless of where you purchased it in the world.

Please be assured returned reeds are discarded after a quality check and are never resold.

Excellent

Relatively affordable bass sax reed that is more consistent, ready quicker, and will last longer than the traditional wooden reed. Amazing speed and transparency on shipping also!

Thank you for the comments, we appreciate your feedback.

SO reliable!

For something like bass sax which we don't use often, it's great to have a reed that can sit between uses without losing consistency - Legere!

Thanks for the kind review!

Best Bass Saxophone reeds!

These are the best reeds for bass saxophone you can buy. Consistent, even tone and last a solid amount of time too. Playing a 3.5 on a Selmer C*. Would highly recommend getting this reed!

Glad to hear you're enjoying the reed!

Very Nice!

Smooth sound and great playability. Make sure you order a half strength lower than you're used to though!

Thanks for the review!

Bass Saxophone - Classic Reed

My daughter loves the reeds and the sound produced in the bass sax. Her first synthetic reeds as well.

Thank you for the review!

Great reed for bass sax

Previously I had been using baritone sax reeds on my Thomann (Jinbao) bass saxophone with a Selmer S80 C* bass mouthpiece, and that setup worked fairly well. I recently tried a Legere 2.00 strength bass saxophone reed and the instrument now has so much more soul and resonance, and the common difficulty getting middle D to speak was greatly reduced. Wow what a difference! This Legere bass saxophone reed is the only one I will use from now on!

Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
