Legere tenor sax reed with Classic profile
The Legere Classic Tenorsax 2.5 is a synthetic reed for tenor saxophone in strength 2.5. Within the Classic range, Legere uses hard poly material, which according to the product information is intended to produce a dark sound. The tip is slightly thicker than on other Legere synthetic reeds, giving this sax reed a somewhat firmer feel.
If you want a tenor sax reed to get acquainted with synthetic reeds, this Legere is a sensible choice. The Classic series is Legere’s most affordable line, so it suits players who want to compare it with traditional cane reeds.
Why choose a synthetic reed for tenor saxophone
Compared with cane reeds, a synthetic reed lasts much longer and keeps its flexibility for a longer time. Because of the precise production process and the use of poly material, the difference between two reeds of the same strength is very small to nonexistent, which is useful when you want consistency.
Moisture also does not affect this tenor saxophone reed. You do not need to wet it first to make it flexible, and that is especially practical for outdoor use in cold or rain. If you need advice about reeds or mouthpiece combinations, Magna Music can also help with personal guidance from musicians in the shop.
