I have been using synthetic reeds for a while because they are so much easier to deal with in dry Canadian winters. I got the French Cut 2.0 to use on a Jody Jazz HR*. I had been using American Cut for a few years but am really glad I tried the French Cut because the tone is a little warmer and more what I am looking for. I like softer reeds for the better articulation but sometimes they are
buzzy. This reed gives me the articulation with the tone I am jooking for. It might be my imagination but I feel the French Cut is also a bit more stable when I torture it. I am very pleased with my current combination and have no desire at all to go back to cane.

I have been enjoying the French Cut reeds on my clarinet, so I decided to try one on my bass. I prefer Tenor sax reeds on the bass, and the French Cut tenor sax was just as responsive as my clarinet reeds have been. Nice sound, good projection, and easy articulation. (Légère reeds are the BEST way to get through HS musical season!!)

I give them 5 stars.. but the 2.25 is too weak, could I get a 2.50 to replace it?

I am a long-time user of Legere saxophone reeds, for both alto and tenor sax. I find that French Cut reeds work equally well on both instruments and help me perform well for the full range of these saxes. They are also durable, and justify the price premium with great performance and longevity.

The new French cut reeds are wonderful!
