The Légère Approach: A Synthetic Reed Born from Engineering
Since 1998, Légère has been developing reeds through a collaboration between a clarinetist-chemist (Guy Légère) and a composite materials specialist (Mark Kortschot). The goal: to replicate the feel and acoustics of cane, with the consistency and longevity of synthetic. The polypropylene-based, non-toxic material is designed to optimize stiffness and density without the addition of fiberglass.
Who Is It For?
Ideal for clarinetists from beginner to advanced levels who wish to transition from cane to synthetic without losing a sound aesthetic suited to the classical repertoire (orchestral work, chamber music, wind ensemble).
Sound and Design
This reed stands out with a stable response and comfortable projection, featuring a darker and rounder timbre due to the thickness of the tip. It remains consistent despite humidity: no swelling, no "soft" reed during playing, and a steady feel from one session to another.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To protect the tip, store the reed in a clarinet reed case (1 reed size). A swab and regular mouthpiece maintenance will also help maintain a clear response.

Beginner, after having tested a multitude of reed hips in different strengths and brands, I find “the lightweight one” extraordinary.
It will be very difficult for me to go back to reeds.
