Legere CLASSIC 2 - BC2

Légère: Engineering Serving Modern Reeds

Since 1998, Légère has been developing synthetic reeds designed to offer a credible alternative to cane, focusing on consistency and longevity. The brand was born from the collaboration of two scientist-musicians, with a materials-oriented approach: the goal is to achieve rigidity and density as close as possible to traditional reeds, while providing the stability of synthetic. This choice is particularly relevant for clarinetists who alternate between long rehearsals, variable conditions, and tuning demands in ensemble settings.

For Which Musician and Playing Contexts?

This Légère reed for bass clarinet is aimed at musicians from intermediate level up to advanced players who wish to switch to synthetic without "breaking" their sound. Its round and dark timbre suits the classical repertoire and ensemble playing (orchestra, wind band, chamber music), where homogeneity and blending of timbres are essential. It may also interest pop or contemporary musicians seeking a reliable response, especially during back-to-back performances.

Sound and Design

Made from polypropylene, this synthetic reed is distinguished by a thicker tip than other models in the range, contributing to a rounder and darker sound. The response remains direct, with stable projection and consistent feel from day to day: a real advantage when wanting to limit surprises related to humidity or rapid cane wear. The material does not absorb water, requires no pre-conditioning before playing, and can be disinfected, while retaining its properties over time.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the response and lifespan of your reed, a reed case (ventilated or hard) is a simple and effective everyday solution. A swab suitable for bass clarinet is also useful to limit moisture inside the instrument after playing and stabilize your playing response.
