I have used Legere reeds on soprano and alto and tenor and baritone saxes. Always great once I find the "right" stiffness for jazz or concert ensemble or orchestra
I purchased the #2 American Cut reed looking for better response in the lower register. I have not been disappointed. It has been much more consistent than the cane reeds I previously used.
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.
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
I've always had an amazing tone and these have always lasted way longer than they should have... i love them.
Thanks for the kind review!
Happy to add this bari sax reed to my collection!
