Legere brand
#2 Reed
For Tenor Saxophone
** NEW **
<><><><><><>
This is a "permanent" reed
made from a revolutionary new synthetic material.
The hardness of this reed is #2,
suitable for a beginning player.
Welcome to the hassle-free world
of Légère synthetic reeds.
Légère makes reeds for clarinet and saxophones.
Légère woodwind reeds are used
by some of best players in the world
to teach, perform, and record.
They are completely different from the plastic reeds
you may have tried before.
Légère reeds are made from a patented synthetic material
with the properties of moist cane.
They play like a good cane reed but last much longer.
They are ready to play instantly,
so you can spend all your time playing.
They are very consistent, and always work,
even when your cane reeds won't!
The secret to the success of Légère Reeds
is a combination of a unique synthetic material,
and meticulous computer controlled processing operations.
Natural cane has a combination of high stiffness and low density
that is very difficult to duplicate in a synthetic.
It has a natural variation in these properties,
that the manufacturers take advantage of
to produce reeds of different strength.
Cane reeds for a particular mouthpiece are generally made
with a single fixed profile, and then graded according to strength:
stiff cane produces "harder" reeds.
Légère has been able to duplicate this property variation in Légère material,
but since we control the material properties very precisely,
we can deliver reeds of consistent strength.
The bottom line: The performance of a vibrating reed
depends almost entirely on three material properties -
the modulus (material stiffness), the density, and the damping.
For Légère unique material, these three properties
are virtually identical to those of cane in the playing condition.
This is why we have succeeded where others have failed.
<><><><><><>
Who should use Légère reeds?
Well ... we think just about anyone can benefit
from a consistent, high quality sound.
To be more specific, Légère reeds can be used:
-
by teachers, doublers, soloists: anyone that has to pick up an instrument and play on a moment's notice.
-
in very dry, wet or cold weather: anywhere that causes problems for natural cane reeds.
-
by students: works the same every time.
-
by instructors/teachers: Imagine teaching a class in which every reed was in perfect playing condition!
-
as a backup reed: a reed you can count on
for a clean precise sound and immediate response.
-
as your PRIMARY REED: the best reed in your case. It's that good!

Caring For Your Légère Reed
Légère synthetic reeds are rugged
and should last for many hours of playing.
With proper care and maintenance,
your Légère reed should provide you with
months and months of playing pleasure.
One of the best features of a Légère reed is that
it does not need to be moistened prior to playing.
It will warm up over the first few minutes,
and should then be stable for an extended period.
The reeds should be cleaned periodically with water and a mild detergent.
Germicides such as Sterisol can be used to clean the reeds,
but you should not assume that such products will completely sterilize them.
As a precaution, we advise against sharing reeds
or using reeds that have been played by others.
The reeds should be stored on a flat surface,
but not in a case which applies pressure to the reed tip.
We do not recommend leaving Légère reeds on the mouthpiece.
Do not store your reeds in the original packaging.
Use a reed holder that keeps them against a flat surface
such as glass, for maximum life.

My Policies:
P A Y M E N T :
<><><><><><>
Buyer is expected to go through
the eBay PAY NOW process
within 3 days of purchase.
<><><><><>
Payment is due within 10 days of purchase.
<><><><><>
Please complete all your purchases,
then click REQUEST TOTAL
from your WON column in My Ebay.
I will send you an invoice with the correct
s&h for your combined order.
EBay shipping setup does not reflect the real world.
There is no way to set up combined shipping
that works right. I have to "see what fits."
If you pay for several items without waiting for an invoice
you will get the fastest shipping and will probably get a refund
for combined shipping.
This is NOT true if the ship-to address
is not in the US or possessions.
You should work out arrangements in advance
for shipping out of the US or possessions.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
As a veteran, I am happy
to ship to APO and FPO addresses
at the same cost as US addresses.
The same shipping cost applies to all US Possessions
(Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Is., etc.)
as for US addresses.
<><><><><><>
S H I P P I N G :
The default shipping method for most items
is USPS 1st Class Mail.
Most items can also be shipped by Priority Mail or Express Mail.
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
I combine shipping
on items that can be shipped together.
You will receive at least $1 off
the individual s&h cost of each item after the 1st.
This is done automatically in eBay.
For many items, the discount is more,
and this will be reflected in a manual invoice
I will send when you request it.
If you buy several items and pay immediately,
you will likely overpay on s&h.
In this case, I will send you a PayPal refund.
(Please understand if the refund takes 2 or more weeks.
I prioritize fast shipping, and often get backed up on refunds.)
If your purchase is over $10,
I may deduct insurance cost before calculating your refund.
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
Please note that SHIPPING and HANDLING charges
include the cost of labor and materials
to create your package ("handling").
It is expensive and labor-intensive to order,
stock, inventory, and store
large boxes of envelopes,
bubble wrap, foam wrap, plastic wrap,
tape, packing peanuts, etc.
It is also labor intensive
to package items as carefully as we do.
Please understand we have to get $2 or more
($4 or more on overseas) for even a small package
just to cover these "handling" costs.

I spend many hours a day answering emails.
I try to answer them as promptly as possible.
Please observe the following:
-
Read listing carefully before asking questions.
-
Please do not mark "hide my email address" in eBay, as this often means
my answer will not reach you.
-
Double-check: you MUST have the correct email address listed in eBay.
-
Make sure you don't have me blocked or spammed. Set my email address
in your email list: TampaDave ? verizon.net
(Fix the address by replacing ? with @)
-
Don't expect me to answer by eBay messages. It is more time-consuming,
I cannot send you links or pictures, other limitations, problems, etc., all
add up to TOO MUCH TROUBLE. I can respond by email to 3-5 messages
for every one I can do by logging into eBay.
-
After a few days, resend an email if you did not get a response. Sometimes
emails are lost in cyberspace, occasionally they get lost here.
-
You may remember what our thread is about, but I respond to hundreds of
emails a week, and do not necessarily remember. Please include the past
portions in replies to refresh my memory.
