Legere Bassoon Reed

We are pleased to offer the Medium and Medium-Hard strength Legere bassoon reeds. The Medium strength offers easier blowing and a relaxed, controlled pianissimo. The Medium-Hard requires greater air support and firmer embouchure for control, but plays louder overall. These reeds will not change under different weather conditions and can last up to 10 times longer than a cane reed.

Legere reeds come as-is. It is NOT recommended to make adjustments to the Legere reeds but you may have success by clipping a very small amount from the tip or scraping in the heart (information taken directly from Legere). If you do attempt to adjust your Legere, you must do so with EXTREME caution and a very, very sharp knife as they are quite fragile. It is easier to adjust the reed by dipping it in hot water. In making any attempt to adjust or alter your Legere reed, you are assuming all risk and liability associated with this. Please note that no refunds or returns can be done on reeds that break or crack in an attempt to alter or adjust.

Sales on the Legere reeds will be final unless they arrive defective or damaged in any way. If stress marks appear on the reed after you have played on it, the reed is not returnable.

In-store clients are allowed to trial reeds in the store and pick their favorite. Trials will not be offered by mail.
