Légère Reeds is pleased to announce the launch of two new reeds: Signature Cut English Horn Reed and Signature American Scrape Oboe Reed - designed to deliver uncompromising performance for professional and advancing players.

These additions mark a significant expansion in Légère’s double reed range - meeting the needs of orchestral, solo, and educational performers seeking a true alternative to cane. Crafted to the highest professional standards, both reeds offer the warmth, stability, and flexibility expected from traditional reeds, while delivering the reliability, durability, and ease of use that only synthetic reeds can provide.

The Légère Signature Cut English Horn Reed mirrors the feel and response of a premium cane reed, offering smooth articulation, instant playability, and a centred, resonant tone ideal for orchestral and solo playing. Both reeds are ready to play straight out of the box - no soaking, no adjustment, and no break-in period required. Available in Medium and Medium-Hard strengths.

The Légère Signature American Scrape Oboe Reed is shaped with the popular American scrape profile, offering a warm, dark tone with a focused core and excellent response across all registers. Balanced resistance supports expressive dynamic control, while pitch remains stable even under changing climate conditions. Available in strengths: Medium-Soft, Medium, and Medium-Hard.

Belonging to Légère’s Signature Series, the new reeds are made using a specially engineered and ‘oriented’ polypropylene material that never needs soaking and remains consistent in all playing environments. One reed can last for months, offering excellent value and sustainability.

Légère’s expansion into double reeds reflects their ongoing commitment to combining advanced material science with the artistry of reed making - resulting in products that support musicians at every level.

Légère Signature American Scrape Oboe Reeds and Signature Cut English Horn Reeds are available to buy now in the UK & Ireland with a retail price of £154.00 SRP.
