Legere ReedsBaritone Saxophone Reed Strength 2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
One synthetic baritone sax reed in a soft strength 2. For players tired of soaking cane and reeds that die in a week.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Doublers and gigging players who need a reed that plays instantly
- Outdoor and pit work where humidity wrecks cane
- Open-tip mouthpieces that call for a lighter reed
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want the exact texture and response of good cane
- Anyone needing a firm reed for a close-tip mouthpiece
- Buyers comparing box prices — this is one reed, not ten
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Strength 2
On the soft side. Easy to blow and good with open tips, but can close up if you push hard.
Detail 03
Filed cut
The bark is cut straight across above the shoulder, which speeds up response and brightens the top end slightly.
Detail 04
Quantity of 1
You're buying a single reed meant to replace a box of cane, not to join a rotation.
Detail 05
Baritone size
Cut for baritone sax only. Tenor and bass clarinet reeds are different sizes and won't seal.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Synthetic strengths don't map exactly to cane — you may want a neighboring number
- 02Store it in its case; the tip chips like cane does
- 03One reed means no spare — keep a cane backup until you trust it
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How long does a synthetic reed last?
Far longer than cane. It doesn't waterlog or warp, so it plays consistently until the tip chips or the response finally changes.
02Do I need to soak it first?
No. Mount it and play. There's no wet-out time and no break-in period, which is the main reason people switch.
03Is strength 2 the same as a 2 in cane?
Not exactly — synthetic and cane strengths are graded differently. Try a neighboring strength if this feels softer or firmer than your usual reed.
04What mouthpiece suits a strength 2?
Open-tip pieces, where a softer reed keeps the setup free-blowing. On a close facing it can feel thin and shut down when you push.
