Description
From the Manufacturer The American Cut is the culmination of a 6-year research project to advance our Signature Series technology and create a reed that answers the needs of the world’s most discerning jazz musicians. I am proud to say, the American Cut delivers everything we set out to achieve, and much, much more. From the very first note, the reed speaks without hesitation. It is effortlessly free-blowing, responsive, colourful, and loaded with personality. The reed’s unmistakable character is thanks to an entirely reinvented profile and heart, and a shorter and wider vamp. By drawing material from the edges toward the centre spine, the reed strikes a harmonious balance of responsiveness and control. Ultra- fine edges allow unrestrained vibration rewarding the player with a clear low- register and vibrant altissimo.

Good bye Rico, sayonara Vandoren… Cane reeds, it’s been real but now you’re off the stage! First impressions were glorious right out of the box. The mouth feel was soft and easy to play. The tone was warm and rich, better than a raspy, splintery reed… The air just flows brilliantly through the reed and resonates through the instrument so well. I got the 2.25 because I heard these run a little harder than cane. On cane, I usually favor a 2.5 All I can say is the synthetic 2.25 played better than a 2.5 cane. Didn’t notice any difference except the sound quality was far better with the synthetic, and the mouth feel and playability as astounding! Idk why I never tried these, for the price, yea it’s a little expensive initially, but over the long run you won’t have to buy expensive boxes of reeds that warp and need to be wet! Out of a box of 10 cane reeds, how many good ones do you get? Maybe 4-5? The rest are junk…. For the price of one cane box, you get 1 high quality superior reed that will last and last. I’ll see how long this reed lasts, but so far in terms of playability and sound quality…. It blows my mind.. I’m a customer for life.

I have been trying synthetic reeds off and on for a few years and I finally feel like a found something great. I'm a tenor saxophone player. I play mostly blues, funk, R&B and some jazz because, yeah. Although I have always experimented with other reeds, I had been playing Rico / orange box #3 for a long time. This was where I felt most comfortable. That is still a great reed, but I always like to see what else it out there. While I do not count on music to make a living, lately I have been in a rigorous practice regimen with a healthy schedule of gigs. I also just had my horn overhauled and have been exploring mouthpieces. In short, I have been very dialed in on sound. It took me a few tries with Legere as there are various "cuts" to choose from. After trying some of the other Legere reeds, I finally settled on the "American Cut". I should also add that this is not something that is just acceptable: I really LOVE the way this reed plays and prefer it over the others. The middle of the horn is rich and the low tones speak beautifully. Altissimo seems to be easier to get to and the top tones seem clean and in tune. If you can get to the reed cut and strength that works for you, this is an excellent option. I feel like I will be playing on these reeds for a long time.

This weekend I played the American Cut and the Signature in two very different settings. I played two 50-minute sets on Saturday with a pop/funk group and I played my regular Sunday church thing on Sunday. I alternated the two reeds on the Saturday gig and made the following observations: the Signature was louder but I was miced so it didn't matter. The American Cut was a bit smoother and had a slight bit more resistance. I spent a lot of time in the upper part of the horn and I really like the altissimo response on the AC. Today (Sunday) was a bit different. I have played the Signature almost every Sunday but I played the AC today. The group that I play with is pretty much acoustic with guitar, bass, piano and three horns; two trumpets and me. I have to be able to play softly and blend and the AC made it a bit easier to do that. Low notes were more controlled and easier to play, both normally and subtoned. Playing softly was not a problem. The bottom line is that I'll probably continue to use both. I REALLY like the new AC. As a matter of fact, I just ordered another one! I think that the Signature gives me a Link-like sound, very "woody" whereas the AC has some "Bergness" to it, if that makes any sense.

I was doing band almost every day and until my annoying band mate killed this reed (he smashed it) it was great. The sound is pretty similar to a 3.0-3.5 wood reed and you definitely save money by only using this reed. It's easy to clean and use but the sound to me doesn't sound quite as good so maybe use this for practicing and use a wooden one for performing.

I play soprano and tenor and use Legere on both of them (strength 2.00). They last a long time and are consistent in quality. They play well too. I like that it includes a case as well. If you are a beginner or trying Legere for the first time, I recommend not going below strength 2.00. Anything below would be too soft.

I really like these synthetic reeds for practice and rehearsals because I don't have to spend time soaking a reed prior to practice, and I don't have to have several on hand in case one chips or cracks. However, they do have a unique tone to them due to the nature of the synthetic material. It's not an unpleasant tone, it is just a bit different than a cane reed. I still prefer to use a cane reed for live performances.
