Légère Reeds - Alto Saxophone Reed, Signature, Strength 2.75 (ASG2.75) - Premium Synthetic Woodwind Reed

My son has been using the Légère Signature Alto Saxophone Reed (Strength 2.50) since November, and he absolutely loves it! As a member of his high school marching band, he needs a reed that delivers consistency, durability, and great sound quality—and this reed checks all the boxes. Unlike traditional cane reeds, this premium synthetic reed doesn’t wear out quickly or require constant adjustments. It produces a warm, rich tone while remaining incredibly responsive, even outdoors. My son also appreciates the convenience of not having to constantly break in a new reed—this one plays beautifully right out of the box! If you're looking for a high-quality, long-lasting reed that performs exceptionally well, I highly recommend the Légère Signature. It’s been a game-changer for my son’s playing experience!

First time soon after I received a product writing a review within 30 minutes after using the product. This synthetic reed is an amazing product although an expressive one. I was able to play with ease despite being a beginner unlike the bamboo reed. Hope it last longer for its price. Pros: Don't need to wet, sound clearity is crystal clear and round, don't need to use pressure like the bamboo reed, comes with an hard plastic case. Con: Highly priced, wish the manufacturer makes it affordable.

I've been using the Légère Reeds Premium Synthetic Woodwind Reed (Signature, Strength 2.00) for almost two years now, and it has truly transformed my saxophone playing experience. After years of using traditional cane reeds, the switch to this synthetic reed has been amazing. One of the standout features is how soft and easy it is to play. It allows me to produce clear, consistent tones effortlessly, making practice sessions smoother and more enjoyable. Unlike cane reeds, the Légère reed requires no pre-soaking, so it's ready to go straight out of the box, which saves time and hassle. I also appreciate the durability—over time, it holds up well without the typical wear and tear associated with cane reeds. This reed has provided me with consistent performance for a much longer period than I ever experienced with wood reeds. While everyone’s preferences may vary, for me, this reed has been an excellent fit. It’s reliable, responsive, and easy to play, and I highly recommend it to other saxophonists looking for a reed that combines convenience and quality.

I hesitated because the description of the product conveyed through the image isn't correct. This is a real 2.00 Legare Signature alto saxophone reed, just for the record (thanks to others for convincing me of this in the Q&A which led me to make my purchase). I am a relative newcomer to the saxophone so my judgments on sound quality should be taken with a grain, possibly a shaker, of salt. When I first tried this reed out I was really pleased, but experienced some difficulty with some mid-range notes sounding different or even off compared to wood reeds. However, as time has gone on I have to say I'm really pleased with this product and the sound quality produced - no soaking, just stick it in the mouthpiece and play the saxophone. The difficulties with some notes I was initially experiencing have largely abated. The biggest advantage? I find that I can hold a note longer and sweeter and with less air pressure than with a comparable wooden reed. There is no longer a whistling loss of air around my embouchure like there was with wooden reeds (yes, I tried different strengths and have worked on my embouchure). Well worth a try. Not having to wonder if the reed is bad, when to replace an old reed, and throwing away lots of little plastic cases are other pluses.

I'm a music teacher; ukulele, guitar, piano, and drums. I played sax in middle school and just picked the sax up again after a 40-year hiatus. I've been playing the Rico reeds, 2.0. They are fine. This is huge step up. One note... the Legere 2.0 and the Rico 2.0 are not the same strength. The Legere is more like a Rico 2.5. So, be prepared for some shorter practice sessions until the muscles get stronger.

My daughter plays Alto Saxophone in her High School Marching band. I recently purchased the Légère Reeds Premium Synthetic Woodwind Reed for her, which turned out to be an excellent decision, and we are thoroughly impressed with the product. One of the standout features of the Légère reed is its exceptional smoothness during play. My daughter immediately noticed the ease with which she could produce clear and vibrant tones on her Saxophone. A major advantage that sets Légère reeds apart is the convenience they offer. Unlike traditional cane reeds, there's no need to pre-soak the Légère reed to achieve the perfect pitch. It's ready to play right out of the box, eliminating the time-consuming process of soaking and adjusting. This feature has been particularly appreciated by my daughter, as it allows for a hassle-free and immediate playing experience. The durability of the synthetic material is another noteworthy aspect. Traditional cane reeds are often fragile and susceptible to changes in humidity, but the Légère reed holds up well over time. This not only contributes to a longer lifespan but also ensures consistent performance, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run. My daughter is delighted with her playing experience, and we highly recommend it to fellow saxophonists.

Works great. Good sound and super easy to play.

I am a band director, and I had always been warned to avoid plastic reeds (and had heard horror stories as a reed player myself). However, when I was trying to pick up my saxophone in lessons, I figured I'd give it a try to avoid the awkward 45 seconds waiting for the reed to get wet and line up on the mouthpiece (or taking it off, wetting it, and lining it up). I was extremely surprised when I first tried it out! It responded so clearly, and in such a lovely way. It wasn't squeaky, squaky, or awful in tone (though, it is a little bright for a concert band or orchestra setting, in my opinion). It is so easy to play on! This is a huge value for me, and it is so useful for me as a band director (especially one who doesn't play much brass)!
