Amazed from the first note! Low notes are so fat, and blow so easy. Altissimo is waaay up in the sky. So amazing, and glad I picked the right strength (2).

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.

Wow! I've long been attracted to the promise of synthetic reeds, and so have probably tried them all over the years. I have always gone back to cane. I think this may be the one that makes a convert out of me. Instant response, good projection and easy altissimo. Lovely subtone in the lower register when you want it, fat lower register when you want that. For me, the 2.75 American Cut is a close match to the 3.0 Vandoren Java Red on tenor. Speaking of reed strength, that 0.25 difference on Legere reeds can be huge. I started with a 3.0, and thought, "blech!" Just going down .25 got me right where I wanted to be - I'm sure going down fully 1/2 would have landed me on something too soft. I suggest buying 2 or 3 different strengths, 0.25 apart, and see where you land. Then just return the rejects. One final note: initially the reeds have a plastic-y / rubbery smell, and they don't taste so good either. It's bad enough that if they persisted, I'd be going back to cane. Happily, these go away quickly. Good luck!

I have not tried artificial reeds for twenty years and last week I tried this one that is good, but not great. It has no bottom, no guts, no cahones, it just is bright and buzzy. I play a '63 Brillhart Level-Aire (4) mouthpiece the 2.25 reed is just a small bit too hard for nuances. It plays loud and it plays subtones, but not a lot of expression. I will try it again tonight on a gig and see if maybe I was mistaken, but it is a non-keeper unless you wish to call cows.

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.

In these last 20 years (since I bought a professional tenor). I play at church. And at the beginning and then an hour into the meet. And then at the end of the meet. A "real bamboo" reed, all up and dries out in that time. So a plastic reed has to be used in this situation. So I've tried at "least" 5 different companies take on the subject. I mean, gave them all they had. For several months each (not the same reed). I did buy more than one of them. AND this one (Légère ) wins the competition. It sounds like it's wooden brother. It feels like his wooden counterpart. And it requires NO time to hold in my mouth to "moisten" up. AND I can leave it on the mouthpiece to be ready for me at the time. I've been with (Légère ) for only a year so far. But I'm not going to leave.

Plastic reeds have come a long way. Natural cane reeds can be really good or really bad, but all require pre soaking and have a limited life span. Pro saxophonists have written books about how to customize reeds. I have reed smoothing tools and trimmers. I don’t bother with any of that anymore. I use the same Legere reed every day and it’s perfect and predictable 100% of the time. Fooling with natural cane reeds takes time away from practice and enjoyment of life. Embrace the advances in technology and free yourself from the nostalgia of natural cane! I’m using a 1.75 American cut Legere reed with my (wide open) #8 Custom Dark HR Jody Jazz mouthpiece with power ring ligature and Selmer SA 80 tenor.
