Légère Synthetic Oboe Reed, European Style

Légère oboe reeds are cut from a unique polypropylene polymer on 3-axis, computer controlled precision cutting machines. The reeds are cut in halves using customized profiles which are based on a mathematical description of a reed profile rather than a model or prototype. The halves are then bonded together using a digitally controlled system. The result is a reed which is perfectly balanced in both blades, and has just the right combination of tip thickness, heart, and flexibility. No soaking is needed and they are not subject to changes in weather or humidity. With proper care, this reed should provide many hours of playing (some people report months!). This is a European scrape reed.
