Légère Reeds - Alto Saxophone Reed, Signature, Strength 2.25 (ASG2.25) - Premium Synthetic Woodwind Reed

Soft sound. Feel like 2.0 reed.

Best reed I’ve ever tried on the alto, it pairs well with my Meyer mouthpiece at the strength of 2.25. Very full tone, dark but centered sound, fast response and control, and all the notes especially the low notes speak well!.

I am 56 and have a 1938 Selmer Paris Alto that I have played off and on since I was a kid. I always used cane reeds. I recently started playing a lot again after a good 10 years or so away. I got Java 2.5 reeds - two boxes, because why not? As usual some of the reeds were great and some not so much. After reading about Legere Signature I decided to try one. So far I really like it a lot! I will probably be getting one or two more to start rotating them in my playing so they last longer. But at this point I intend to make it my goto reed. The only complaint I have is the packaging (hence the 4 stars). It came in a flimsy plastic shipping envelope and the reed package was loose/open and the reed was out of its slots. Seller - ship these things in small boxes! Legere - start including a plastic reed enclosure like most other reed brands. $30+ is a lot to spend on one reed which would be damaged in shipping and normal usage without the plastic keeper case. Overall though I think I found my answer to wasting time fiddling around with reeds - Legere Signature. I play the Java 2.5 as I mentioned and my Legere Signature 2.25 is really close to that. Really glad I got one and plays great! Thank you Legere!

These reeds are the it! I've used them for my tenor saxophone and now with the alto. I'm very satisfied with my performance.

Yes it’s one singular reed! But it sounds and plays amazing! I was skeptical at first but I had a friend who was a senior play with this and she loved it!. So I had to buy one my self.

These Legere synthetic reeds are fantastic. Consistent sound and playability. Signature series seem to work the best for me. No more wooden reeds!

Bought for my husband who is a woodwind player. Very old school but loves these so much he gives them to his colleagues.

These are a great idea! The info generally on these is that they work well and last for months. They are expensive (mine was $34) but because they sound good and last a long time this should save you money - especially in the long run. I ordered one reed - the Signature , 2.25. I was very satisfied at first, the texture is different then the Cain reeds, but it's not unpleasant and it was good to not need to pre-soak the reed to use it! I haven't played the saxophone long enough to actually sound good - YET, but it sounded as good or better than my usual playing. So what's to not like ENOUGH not to give it a 4 or 5 star review? The first time I practiced with it was good, about an hour long and when finished I took off the reed, rinsed it under fresh water and wiped it off with a clean soft cloth before I inspected it and put it back in it's case. The next day I did the same, maybe an hour and a half of practice. But this time, when I went to rinse it off I noticed it was split on the edge. Actual 2 splits, the larger one was nearly a half an inch long while the other was shorter. It didn't last long to justify the money it cost, yet in the reviews people said they lasted for months. There were no teeth marks or other reasons that I could attribute damage to, It just didn't last. I'm disappointed that it didn't because I was happy to get it and I thought to myself $34 was a lot to spend but it'll be cheaper in the long run. So much for my high hopes! I guess the odds work against you from time to time, but i plan to purchase another one down the road because everyone deserves a second chance.

とても品質が良く気に入っています。 次回も購入したいです。

Das beste Kunststoffblatt, das ich je benutzt habe. Hält ewig und konstant, spricht super an und muss nur kurz auf Temperatur kommen. Allerdings ist es wie alle Blätter genauso empfindlich auf Hängenbleiben, reißt der Länge nach dann ein, ist erstaunlicherweise aber damit sogar noch notdürftig spielbar.

Legere is the best reed I have tried not only because of the good sound, articulations, durability, intonation and best of all, always ready to play regardless of the room temperature, humidity and other factors but also they have an amazing customer service and with a great return/exanchange policy.

Soy saxofonista profesional y compre esta caña para las clases pues durante las clases las cañas sufren mucho. Tocas 2 minutos para algun ejemplo y despues paras 10 minutos, etc...Es cierto que tienen un timbre y una reacción diferente a la madera. Un sonido quizás más comprimido y algo diferente y un tacto a la boca algo artificial. A todos mis alumnos que las han comprado les he recomendado usar un numero similar al que usaban en madera. Hay quien dice que son más blandas pero no estoy de acuerdo. Por ejemplo para jazz uso una meyer 6 y una legere 2 1/4 y si uso vandoren javas (rojas) uso numero 3. La sensación con la legere es de una caña mas blanda pero a mayor dureza la caña es más oscura y hay que apretar más la embocadura para poder controlarla. Para un set up clásico recomiendo: selmer c·· o vandoren Al 3 o A 28 y una legere de 2 3/4 a 3 1/4, demendiendo de la edad y la forma de tocar. Todas las cañas legere son diferentes a igual numeracion, pruebas dos iguales y hay ligeras diferencias

Mejor de lo que esperaba, muy cómoda, muy buen sonido y no necesita humedecer y no baja su funcionalidad después de tocar varias horas
