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.

    • Game changer
Size: Strength 2.50
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. ... show more

    • Maybe no more cane for me?
Size: Strength 2.25
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. ... show more

    • 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

    • Oh My God….It’s heaven!
Size: Strength 2.25
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. ... 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

    • No surprises!
Size: Strength 2.00
Very dry conditions (e.g., winters in Colorado) are not good for cane reeds. This synthetic reed is very consistent and predictable. It plays well from top to bottom. Although it does not have the "feel" of a cane reed, it comes very close. I can focus on playing the instrument instead of constantly tinkering with cane reeds. ... show more

    • I can play with a dry reed and nobody will know!
Size: Strength 2.25
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. ... show more

    • Good playability
Size: Strength 1.50
A heard that these reeds run on the stiff side so I started with the 1.50 and its great. I play in small senior venues and I don’t need a lot of volume and I’m an older guy. I may try a 1.75 later these reeds look like they will be my “go to “ reeds from now on
