A synthetic reed for jazz that sounds and feels like cane.
Size: Strength 2.75
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! ... show more

Pretty good
Size: Strength 2.75
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. ... show more

Won't last.
Size: Strength 2.75
I bought a 2.75 in February and had to return it after it came with cracks in the tip down to the middle. I claimed for a new one thinking it was a 1 off but when I got a 2nd one it wasn't nearly as bad but after 4 weeks of constantly playing (even though it also came with cracks) the tone dropped. I didn't go through the process of getting a new One AGAIN so I've just went back to cane reeds. ... show more

Definitely a bit brighter than the signature, I use it for a slightly brighter sound but it will work just as well for a darker tone with the right mouthpiece.
