Légère Reeds - Tenor Saxophone Reed, Signature, Strength 2.25 (TSG2.25) - Premium Synthetic Woodwind Reed

I've been using these reeds for a long time. I'm not a purist insisting on cane and throwing most of a box of 12 away, (I'm not at that level). I find these reeds work consistently well and last well making them value for money. As with a natural reed, they can be damaged quite easily which can be annoying in their early life. To the best of my knowledge you cannot sand and clip these reeds as with natural ones but they play great out of the box!

This is good quality and really consistent for practice or if you're in a situation where you need to swap instruments and it may be left on the stand, as it doesn't dry out and is quite responsive without warming up too much. The downside is the tone is quite bright, it can't replace a cane reed but that is a matter of personal taste. It is worth trying out and keeping in your case as a back up

The Legere synthetic reed is superb to play. You do not need to wet them or suck them before starting to play. They all have a very consistent quality and can last a very long time (upto 6 months) whereas some cane reeds may not even be up to standard right out of their box. This is not uncommon but I've noticed some cane reeds in one batch are not as good as others. After a while cane reeds, because they are a natural product can warp at the tip and can split easily. The legere reed has to be looked after and gently washed with mild soap and tepid water each week although the manufacturers say that bacterial build up is extremely rare due to the material used. I'd definitely recommend. Also there's a strength exchange program if you feel you ordered the wrong strength. Check their strength chart for good comparison. There reeds are more expensive ( 1 reed = pack of 10 cane reeds) bt they last longer than 10 reeds if you are playing a lot. I would say that they are semi transparent so you may find it difficult to line up properly on the mouthpiece as you cannot easiky see the mouth piece edges.

Quality accurate and long lived.

As a beginner this thing has been a godsend. It’s perhaps a little brighter than the cane reeds I’ve tried before, but I don’t care. The fact that it plays the same every time I strap it to my mouthpiece is invaluable as a complete beginner. Being brand new to woodwind and self taught, it’s impossible for me to tell if a cane reed is bad, or if I’m just playing bad. Is the reed too wet, too dry, worn out, or just a bad reed to begin with? Or did I unconsciously change my embouchure? I have no idea. I don’t know enough to know. Those elements of doubt are removed with a synthetic reed, and that allows me to focus 100% on improving my technique. It is quite expensive, but the thing is near indestructible. Well worth the price.

I'd bought an alto one of these first and struggled with the low and high notes. Shortly after buying it the playing end began to disintegrate. A friend said I should give it a second go. I'm so glad I did! This tenor one came in a substantial protective box (the alto was stuck to a piece of card...wondering if the end was damaged now. Just sent it back.) and it played beautifully from the off! I find a natural reed that has softened with playing for a couple of hours usually fails on high and low notes. This baby just plays and plays! I play on a Jodie Jazz New York metal mouth piece and 2.5 VD Java red on both my saxes. I've used the online table which recommends a 2.25 strength. Perfect! I agree with other players comments that you get a slightly brighter sound, but it is really marginal. Totally worth it for the reliability. No panicking about which reeds to take to a gig, when we start playing in public again. I will just be bringing this and a backup! (Just got a new alto one and it is now sold in a box! It also plays properly, like the tenor.)

These reeds are a Godsend for someone like me. I perform as a singer and multi instrumentalist and during a 2 hour show I need to just be able to pick up a Saxophone multiple random times and play and know it is going to perform and behave flawlessly without wetting and all the rigmarole that goes with its cane counterparts. Unlike cane reeds, these synthetic reeds have never let me down. I use them in both my tenor and alto and the tone is great with both, and through my PA with a touch of reverb, delay and compression, I couldn’t ask for any more. A real game changer. They probably cost about 10p to make but are still great value compared with the number of cane reeds I’d get through in the same time one of these lasts.

My first ever Legere synthetic reed arrived on the 17th and after playing it for just 2 days, I will never go back to playing cane reeds again. These reeds are brilliant......you don't have to worry about wetting it, just put it on the mouthpiece and start blowing I play a Meyer 6* mouthpiece and I love the tone this reed gives me. It doesn't sound 'plasticy' at all. I normally play a 2.5 Vanhoren for practice and 3.0 for gigs, but followed advice and bought a 2.25 and find this easier to play throughout the range of notes 5 stars all the way!

Lo mejor para tener una caña ue nunca va perder su firmeza, siempre va a estar estable no importa el clima, humedad, altura etc . Sin sacrificar el excelente sonido que te brinda. Yo ya no las cambio por nada.

Returning (beginner) tenor player. Last time I tried a non-cane reed was when Fibracell was the name, and that was easily a dozen years ago. This is incredible! Truly! Box to mouthpiece & instant sound. Better balance than the Fibracell back them. Literally no more cane reeds for me!

Parfait pour la durabilité et le confort dans l'utilisation

Penso che scrivere una recensione relativamente ad una ancia non abbia molto significato perché magari quello che va bene a me non funziona con un altro. Dipende da troppe cose. Comunque quello che posso dire è che attualmente uso solo queste ance. Sono quelle più giuste per me, con vari bocchino che ho usato. E durano tantissimo. La prima che ho acquistato la uso ormai da oltre sei mesi e funziona benissimo. Quindi il mio giudizio è che sono OTTIME. Con quelle di canna dovevo stare continuamente a combattere. Con queste non devo fare niente. È il suono è ottimo.
