I purchased both this and a signature bari reed (Amer. Cut 3.25 Signature 3.5) and really don't think I will be going back to cane reeds anytime soon. The response on these reeds is amazing and the tone quality is better through the bottom end than I have ever found with even the most prepared cane reeds. I am insanely surprised, but also Very happy with my purchase. I have found that the American Cut works best for me in more orchestral/classical groups. I use the signature more for jazz.

I've always had an amazing tone and these have always lasted way longer than they should have... i love them.

Happy to add this bari sax reed to my collection!

I put my bari down for a long time because I was having a hard time finding good reeds that worked for me. Flash forward to the present, some 3 years later and I took a chance on the Legere American cut. The first note I played came out so effortlessly. The response was immediate and I could actually play the entire range of the bari evenly. I was so excited. I still have to break it in a bit more, I can tell, but this is going to be a part of my routine now that I’ve found new life in my bari sax thanks to these reeds.

I should have ordered a 2 instead of a 2.5! I ordered what I am using and the plastic one, which I still think is a great idea is just too hard.
