• [New Product] Légère Introduces the “Signature Series” of Oboe and Bassoon Reeds!

  

  2026/09/20

  Légère has introduced the “Signature Series,” a new line of reeds for oboe and bassoon!
  Based on over 10 years of feedback from musicians, the profile shape and manufacturing process have been completely redesigned. By utilizing precise analysis in 0.25-micron increments with the latest dedicated scanner and adopting new CNC machining technology, these reeds deliver stable pitch, excellent response, and a deep, rich tone across the entire range—from low to high notes.
  Additionally, they are less susceptible to changes in humidity and temperature and do not require soaking in water. Not only can you play with stable performance immediately after taking it out of the case, but it also boasts excellent durability, allowing you to use a single reed for an extended period.
  In addition to the “European Scrape,” a staple for the oboe, the lineup also includes the “American Scrape,” available on a made-to-order basis.
  A new generation of Légère double reeds designed for a more natural playing feel and stability. From students to professional musicians, be sure to take this opportunity to try them out!

• [Media Coverage] Playtech by VICTORY, Sanborn Reed, and others featured in Sax World Vol. 42!

  

  2026/09/19

  The September 14 issue of "Sax World Vol. 42" features products carried by Sound House, including the Playtech by VICTORY tenor saxophone and the Sanborn Signature Reeds.
  
  In the CD-linked feature “PRODUCTS CLOSE UP,” we introduce the “Playtech by VICTORY PTS-50V” tenor saxophone—part of Sound House’s original “PLAYTECH” brand and developed under the supervision of the American saxophone manufacturer “VICTORY.” Saxophonist Naomu Soeda tried out the instrument to evaluate its tone, playing feel, and playability. The accompanying CD includes audio recordings of the test performance, allowing you to enjoy the sound of the PTS-50V alongside the print review.
  
  The issue also features a special section on ReedGeek’s “Sanborn Signature Reeds.” Mauro Di Gioia, the company’s founder, discusses the development background of the reeds that have supported David Sanborn’s sound, and the issue includes a trial report by saxophonist Masato Honma, a great admirer of Sanborn. He explores the appeal of these reeds from a player’s perspective, covering aspects such as tone, response, and ease of control.
  
  Furthermore, in a special feature on high-baffle mouthpieces for alto saxophone, saxophonist Fumiya Morishita compares and tests a total of 20 rubber and resin models, including the “D’Addario Woodwinds / Rico Graftonite” and “Bari Woodwinds / Infinity.” In addition to the tone and playing feel of each model, the article also covers playing techniques and tips for choosing reeds, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to find the right mouthpiece.
  
  The issue is also packed with other compelling features, including an opening feature with Dave Koz and Leo P, as well as a beginner’s guide to jam sessions. Be sure to check out the magazine and the accompanying CD.
