Built to serve the needs of a broad range of Cor Anglais players, this reed offers a dependable feel and consistent performance. Its stability and ease of use make it a practical choice for concerts, rehearsals, doubling, or as a trustworthy backup to cane. While not tailored to any one player’s setup, it has been praised by many for its balance, responsiveness, and overall playability.
This is a fully synthetic reed with a blended American-European scrape. It is tuned for stable pitch and requires no soaking, and comes in medium strength.
After being rather sceptical about plastic reeds, having now tried these Légère Reeds over a longer period, I think they are a fantastic addition providing durability, great playability and produce a rich warm sound - Ian Crowther August 2017
