Legere reeds are made from a special polymer compound with a very fine microtexture. They have low density, so that they float, just like cane reeds. This hi-tec material is designed to mimic the properties of damp cane as closely as possible.
This Standard Cut Legere makes quite a dark sound and as such has been appreciated by classical players and also players taking grades and playing shows etc. Legere also produce a Studio Cut which is more for Jazz players, and also a Signature series which are more expensive but arguably more flexible.
The life span of these synthetic style reeds can be months and they produce a very consistent sound from start to finish.
Standard cut more suited to classical and grade players.
The profile creates a darker sound than the brighter Studio Cut type.
They generally feel a half strength harder than Vandoren Traditional.
Extremely consistent.

Legere Alto Saxophone Reed Reviews
Anonymous review via Feefo - 2023-12-14
You charged for first class postage but item took four days to arrive. I would recomend you speak to your delivery provider to discuss this.
The supplier responded:Dear customer,
Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that delivery of your order was delayed, unfortunately as this is a busy time of year for deliveries we are experiencing some slight delays at the moment. I would however be more than happy to refund the cost of the postage for you.
Kind regards,
Kasey Stone - Dawkes Sales
