Legere tenor sax reed in strength 3
If you are looking for a synthetic reed for tenor saxophone that is affordable and offers an easy introduction to synthetic reeds, the Legere Classic Tenorsax 3 is a strong choice. This transparent tenor sax reed is made from hard poly material and is designed to produce a dark sound.
The tip is thicker than on other Legere synthetic reeds. That makes the reed feel slightly stiffer, which some saxophonists appreciate for control and response.
Why choose a synthetic reed for tenor saxophone
A synthetic saxophone reed lasts much longer than a cane reed and keeps its flexibility for a longer time as well. Because of the precise production process and the use of poly material, the difference between two reeds of the same strength is minimal to none, which is useful if you want a predictable response.
Moisture does not affect this Legere Classic reed. You do not need to wet it before playing, and that also makes this tenor sax reed suitable for outdoor use, for example in cold or rain. At Magna Music in Roosendaal, you can also get personal advice from musicians if you want to compare different reed strengths.
