Professional quality reeds.

The Classique offers a classically grounded performance that produces a warm, dynamically balanced, sonorously beautiful tone.

Designed to the most exacting specifications, these reeds deliver all the depth and warmth that elite players demand. Our new Signature Series Reeds are the ideal solution for elite players looking for that something extra who havent yet found the perfect sound with our other reeds.

Months of testing with top professionals including Larry Combs and Barnaby Robson have demonstrated that the new reeds can add another dimension to the already rich Legere sound. Mr. Combs, former Principal Clarinet in Chicago, has said that the new reeds feel and sound very natural.

This ALL NEW JAZZ reed features a unique relationship between the heart of the reed, where the tone is produced, and the thickness of the tip, which is responsible for vibration. The result is a reed with extraordinary tone, with immediate response in a free-blowing manner  even in the altissimo range.
