Légère Reeds Ltd.
Légère Reeds Ltd. was founded by Dr. Guy Légère and Dr. Mark
Kortschot in 1998. Guy, a scientist and amateur clarinetist, thought
that there had to be a product that played as well as moist cane without
any of the inevitable issues that resulted from using traditional
reeds. It was his drive and passion to change these issues that lead to
the creation of the first Légère Reed prototype.
After many trials, failed attempts and re-engineering, the first
sixty prototypes were made on a home-built CNC machine. They were taken
to ClarinetFest in 1998 to test with experienced players. To Mark and
Guy’s amazement, all the reeds sold out in half a day, and the rest… is
history.
Today, Légère Reeds produces state of the art synthetic reeds for
many single and double reed instruments. Distributed worldwide, the
reeds are produced in an ultra-modern manufacturing and distribution
facility in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
