Légère: the synthetic reed that changed the game
Known for its innovative reeds, Légère uses a polypropylene whose molecules are aligned to finely adjust stiffness and density, closely mimicking the feel of a traditional cane reed, without adding fiberglass or other chemicals.
Who is the American Cut for?
Designed for jazz, the American Cut is suitable for both beginner and professional saxophonists. Its great ease of sound production will especially appeal to musicians seeking a more direct response and a different brightness compared to a reed with a rounder character.
Response, flexibility, and touch
At strength 2.25, this reed offers a balance between flexibility and support. The ultra-thin edges promote expressive vibrato and lively articulation, while the American Cut profile provides presence and clarity across all registers.
