class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best aspects of synthetic reeds is how long they last. Incredibly durable, synthetic reeds will generally last 6 months to as long as one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The table below shows how long some of the top synthetic reeds last on average:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Reed<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Longevity<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fibracell<\/td><td>$17.50<\/td><td>3-5 months<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fiberreed<\/td><td>$38.50<\/td><td>Up to 11 months<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Forestone<\/td><td>$30.75<\/td><td>3-4 months<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>L\u00e9g\u00e8re<\/td><td>$34.46<\/td><td>6-12 months<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the above gives you a good idea of the durability of reeds, based on player feedback, some players admit they play on their synthetic reed longer than they should, even though it has become softer. Your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players sometimes use Legere reeds for up to 11 months. However, it must be noted the tone often starts getting altered after 6 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The longevity also depends on how you play on the reed. If you play on the same synthetic reed multiple hours every day, or if you play using slap tonguing and lots of altissimo, you may find the reed doesn\u2019t last as long. These techniques will age any reed more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to store synthetic reeds safely in a reed case so that the reeds sit on a flat surface. This helps the reeds to maintain their shape and protects them from damage &#8211; else the corners may bend or splits may appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students find they can generally use the same synthetic reed throughout the school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_know_a_synthetic_reed_needs_to_be_replaced\"><\/span>How do you know a synthetic reed needs to be replaced?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like cane reeds, synthetic reeds gradually soften over time. It may feel too easy to play, or the tip may close against the mouthpiece when playing high notes or when trying to play fortissimo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some players find that the tip of a synthetic reed eventually develops splits in it as it ages. This is usually a good indication that it\u2019s time to replace the reed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also tell when a synthetic reed needs to be replaced by the way it responds to articulation. Rather than a quick, clear response, the reed may produce a slightly delayed and dull sound when articulating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to be sensitive to when a reed is worn out. If you play on any reed that is too old and is ready to be replaced, your embouchure can become accustomed to playing on a reed that is too soft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you do replace it, you will&nbsp; find that the new reed feels too stiff. Then you have to build up your embouchure muscles again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_make_synthetic_reeds_last_longer\"><\/span>How to make synthetic reeds last longer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because synthetic reeds aren\u2019t made from cane, they don\u2019t need to get wet before playing. The fact that they don\u2019t go through the wetting and drying process makes them last much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to make your synthetic reed last even longer is to have multiple reeds that you rotate. Synthetic reed makers often suggest playing on a reed for about an hour, and then rotating to a different synthetic reed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because the reed tends to soften as it warms up. By rotating to a second reed, you\u2019ll find the first reed is ready to go the next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rotating reeds also prevents the possibility that you become accustomed to one specific reed. When this happens, it\u2019s more difficult to <a href=\"https:\/\/groovewiz.com\/when-should-i-move-up-a-reed-size-saxophone\/\">move on to a different reed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_some_of_the_bestlongest_lasting_synthetic_reeds\"><\/span>What are some of the best\/longest lasting synthetic reeds?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group yacgroup\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legere_synthetic_reeds\"><\/span>L\u00e9g\u00e8re synthetic reeds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/groovewiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Legere.jpg\" alt=\"L\u00e9g\u00e8re synthetic reeds\" class=\"wp-image-2585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/groovewiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Legere.jpg 500w, https:\/\/groovewiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Legere-300x90.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The synthetic reeds for clarinet and saxophone made by L\u00e9g\u00e8re are very popular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company uses polypropylene to make their reeds. This is a common, non-toxic polymer that doesn\u2019t absorb water and can be cleaned with a mild detergent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L\u00e9g\u00e8re reeds are thinner than those made of cane, but they\u2019re made using a stiffer material. Players like the free vibration they get from these synthetic reeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many feel they can\u2019t tell the difference between the sound of a cane reed and a synthetic one made by L\u00e9g\u00e8re.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three styles to choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>European Cut<\/strong> (clarinet) &#8211; flexible, with a bright, yet warm sound.

They generally beat the classic cut in terms of tone quality and are worth the extra price<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help you find the right cut and strength, L\u00e9g\u00e8re offers free exchanges of their reeds (up to five times in one year).
