Legere ReedsBaritone Saxophone Reed Strength 3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single synthetic baritone sax reed in medium strength 3. For players who want consistent response without soaking or sorting through cane.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Big band and pit players switching horns mid-set
- Cold or dry rooms where cane goes stiff and unstable
- Occasional bari doublers whose reeds die from disuse
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing the specific feel of a broken-in cane reed
- Anyone who prefers testing a box for the best one
- Soft or hard setups — this is a medium strength
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
Filed cut
Bark removed above the shoulder, so the reed starts easily and responds fast in the low register.
Detail 03
Strength 3
Medium. Pairs with common medium-open bari mouthpieces without needing extra air to control.
Detail 04
Quantity: 1
Single reed, not a box. Judge the price against how long one reed survives.
Detail 05
$36 per reed
Roughly one cane box, but bari cane is expensive and fails fast, so this evens out.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One reed per package — not a box or multi-pack
- 02Legere strengths run on their own scale, so cane sizing may not transfer
- 03Store it in a case; the tip chips like cane does
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I have to wet it first?
No. Put it on the mouthpiece and play. It plays identically wet or dry and needs no break-in time.
02How long will it last?
Months of regular playing rather than weeks. Replace it once the tip chips or it starts feeling soft and slow.
03Does it fit a standard bari mouthpiece?
Yes — it's cut to standard baritone saxophone reed dimensions, so any ligature made for a cane bari reed works.
04Should I get a 3 if I play cane 3?
Start there, but be ready to move a step. Legere strength numbers don't line up exactly with cane brands.
