Légère is pleased to introduce Signature Series technology for the Alto and Tenor Sax. The new reeds follow the spectacular success of our Signature Series clarinet reeds, which have been hailed as a breakthrough in synthetic reeds. The Signature Series clarinet reeds are used by many professionals, including Barnaby Robson, Principal Clarinet of the Philharmonia in London, Larry Combs, former Principal of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and John Moses, a leading session and pit pro in New York. Larry Combs has said the Signature Series reeds are"... equal to or better in many respects than the best cane reeds".

Why Do They Work?

The secret to the success of Légère Reeds is a combination of a unique synthetic material, and meticulous computer controlled processing operations. Natural cane has a combination of high stiffness and low density that can be difficult to duplicate in a synthetic material. The manufacturers take advantage of the natural variation in cane to produce reeds of different strength. Cane reeds are graded according to strength: stiff cane is generally used to produce "harder" reeds. We have successfully duplicated this property variation in our material, and because we can control the material properties very precisely we are able to deliver reeds of consistent strength – each and every time.
