The Légère Classic Baritone Saxophone Reed strength 3 3/4 has a thicker tip than other Légère tenor sax reeds and is designed to produce a darker sound. This reed is recommended for beginners though it is appreciated by advanced players seeking a darker sound.
The Classic Reed for Baritone Saxophone is the recommended cut for marching band performers and those blending their sound with a large ensemble.
Materials:
Légère reeds are made from polypropylene, which is approved by the FDA for use in direct food contact applications, so our reeds are completely safe to use. Recently, there has been concern expressed in the media about a chemical compound called Bisphenol-A (BPA) which is used to make some plastics. Polypropylene does not contain BPA. Those expressing concern about BPA in baby bottles often suggests polypropylene as a safe alternative.
We process our polymer in a special way that lines up the molecules themselves in order to precisely match the stiffness and density of moist cane. We do not add glass fibres or any chemicals. Some characteristics of our material:
- It doesn’t have to be preconditioned before playing.
- It does not absorb water.
- It is completely non-toxic.
- It can be sanitized.
- It is extremely tough and it will last a long, long, time.
Of course, the best thing about our material is its sound. Even with all of the advantages of a synthetic, you wouldn't spot our reeds on the stage at the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra if the sound wasn't wonderful.
