Legere Bb clarinet reed for French mouthpieces
This Legere European Cut Bb clarinet reed in strength 3.25 is a synthetic reed for Bb clarinet, specially developed for use with French mouthpieces such as Vandoren and Selmer. If you play on a German mouthpiece, this version is less suitable.
Within the European Cut Series, Legere chose a different cut than on the Classic and Signature reeds for Bb clarinet. That makes this clarinet reed a fitting option for players looking for a design that matches French mouthpiece dimensions and playing preferences.
Comfort and reliable response
The vamp of the reed is slightly shorter and wider than on the regular Classic and Signature versions for Bb clarinet. In practice, that translates into a more comfortable embouchure, meaning the way your mouth and lips surround the mouthpiece and reed while playing.
Legere also reinforced the core of the reed, the part that sits directly against the mouthpiece, with extra material. Even so, the reed still vibrates freely and keeps a reliable response in the upper register. At Magna Music, staff who are players themselves can also help you choose a suitable reed strength for your mouthpiece and playing style.
