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

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.

Soft sound. Feel like 2.0 reed.

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!

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.

I bought this (and a 2 1/2 strength) to try for outdoor playing for the summer. I've always had a problem with cane reeds being inconsistent, especially outside in hot weather. I've been using the 2 1/2 for big band stuff and the 2 1/4 for more delicate playing. People said they like the sound and I find them very easy to play. I'm not sure I'll ever go back to cane.

These are expensive but well worth the cost. They perform as well as a quality cane reed and do not need any seasoning before use. Very durable and last for months of daily use. A slightly brighter sound than expected but they also do an American Cut which I understand gives a more mellow sound. They also do a cheaper Classic which I have also used but the Signature range is definitely superior. From my experience these synthetic reeds play harder than conventional reeds so I have gone down from a 2.5 to a 2 strength reed. In short go for a slightly lower strength than you normally play. Don't worry about getting it wrong though as the company have an excellent exchange policy where you can change your reed. I will continue to use this product in the future.

Die Blätter von Legere sind wirklich toll - haben einen super Klang und halten ca. ein halbes Jahr. Bin froh endlich keine Holzblätter mehr benutzen zu müssen.

Je suis un amateur sur saxophone, mais j’ai tout de mème constaté que ces Anche m’ont aidée à produire un meilleur son et plus facile les essayer c’est les adopter.

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
