Légère synthetic reeds are made from polypropylene, which is approved by the FDA for use in direct food contact applications, so these reeds are completely safe to use. They process the polymer in a special way that lines up the molecules themselves in order to precisely match the stiffness and density of moist cane.
Légère Signature Reeds.
Some characteristics of the material:
- Doesn't have to be preconditioned before playing.
- Does not absorb water.
- Completely non-toxic.
- It can be sanitized.
- Extremely tough and it will last a very long, time.
Because of their synthetic nature, they are the only reeds we allow to be tested in store.
