The European Cut Series for Clarinet is the next advancement in Légère synthetic reed development. The reed is characterised by a slightly shorter and wider vamp that is comfortable in the embouchure. There is a band of extra material along the spine that provides rigidity without compromising the reed's free blowing nature or high register stability.
The European Cut Series is designed specifically for French mouthpieces and will not work on most German mouthpieces.
Legere European Cut Clarinet Reed
Suitable for most Vandoren Clarinet Mouthpieces
Also can be used on Selmer and other (non German) European made mouthpieces
Very durable material - can last months
We find synthetic reeds commonly more suited to closer facing mouthpieces requiring less of the reed to flex
Please refer to the strength chart pictured for comparison to other reeds

Legere Bb Clarinet European Cut Reed Reviews
Anonymous review via Feefo - 2025-08-22
These reeds work really well for me. My playing’s improved since switching to synthetic as I focus on fixing problems with my technique rather than reed adjustments.

Excellent on my b45 mouthpiece. Great tone across 3 octaves.
I have switched from signature to European cut and prefer it.

Lovely tone. Plays well every time. No wetting of the reed required. I've used them for several years and much prefer them to unstable cane reeds. They last a long time.

For me, the Legere clarinet reeds aren't as good as the saxophone ones, but nevertheless a great back-up option.

This Reed gives a much brighter tone to the music and plays straight away without having to dampen it first.
