Produktbeschreibung
Légere reeds are made from polypropylene, which is approved by the FDA for use in direct food contact applications, so our reeds are completely safe to use. Recently, there has been concern expressed in the media about a chemical compound called Bisphenol-A (BPA) which is used to make some plastics. Polypropylene does not contain BPA. Those expressing concern about BPA in baby bottles often suggest polypropylene as a safe alternative.
We process our polymer in a special way that lines up the molecules themselves in order to precisely match the stiffness and density of moist cane. We do not add glass fibres or any chemicals. Some characteristics of our material:
* It doesn’t have to be preconditioned before playing.
* It does not absorb water.
* It is completely non-toxic.
* It can be sanitized.
* It is extremely tough and it will last a long, long, time.
Of course, the best thing about our material is its sound. Even with all of the advantages of a synthetic, you wouldn't spot our reeds on the stage at the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra if the sound wasn't wonderful.
