Legere Classic AS2.00 Alto Saxophone Reed

Synthetic Alto Saxophone Reed for Reliable Performance

The Légère CLASSIC Altsax AS2.00 is a synthetic alto saxophone reed at strength 2.00, built from a proprietary polypropylene polymer that never absorbs moisture. It plays straight from the case — no soaking, no breaking in, no last-minute swaps before a gig. The Classic cut features a thicker tip and heart than the Signature line, producing a darker, purer tone with fewer overtones, which is why Légère recommends it for marching band performers and musicians blending into a large ensemble.

Why Players Choose This Reed

Unlike cane reeds that warp, crack, and shift with humidity, the AS2.00 keeps the same response week after week. It cleans easily with warm water and a mild detergent, lasts far longer than traditional cane, and ships in strengths from 2.00 up to 3.50 so players can dial in their match. For alto saxophonists who perform often or simply want one less variable in their setup, this reed removes the guesswork from daily playing.
