Let customers speak for us
from 1737 reviewsThese European cut reeds are fantastic. They play with such color and ease that i really can’t believe that i suffered with cane reeds for so long. I am a true convert.
I played Legere Signature 2.75 for a few years before I tried American Cut for the first time. I absolutely love it. Using 2.50 and it’s perfect for me. Strong and stable, bottom to top. Love my sound.
After taking a few decades off, I am back to playing my baritone sax. A few things have changed. The biggest one is the Legere reeds. They are a great upgrade from the old cane days. Every one is perfect right out of the box; sounds great, easy to play, consistent and long lasting too. No more sifting through a box of cane reeds, finding the few that sound great, and trying to fix or discarding the rest. I would never go back to cane.
These reeds can last me 6 to 8 months or longer and I use them on all my woodwinds.
The reed played better than expected. Use all the time now
I'm one of those performers who wears a lot of hats on a gig (vocalist, keyboardist, sax player), and have been struggling for years (decades, really) to find a solution for a sax reed that's still ready to play after my horn sits on the stand for 20-30 minutes. For the kinds of gigs I play, these reeds not only play great but sound great!
Legere European Cut reeds were recommended by my fellow first clarinet players in the Synod band that I play in. I haven't been disappointed. The reeds have always been "hot" and I enjoy using them.
This is my first time using a plastic reed, and I like it. This reed has a lot more bite to it than a wooden reed, which I like. It provides a sharper sound and more consistent attacks than the wooden reeds I usually use. It has less delay, and I appreciate being able to go down a quarter size. I do somehow miss the taste of wood, but I can't really hold that against the reed.
I have been enjoying Legere alto and baritone reeds for years now and when I needed to exchange a recent purchase they made it a simple process. Thank you Legere!
My teacher is a recent convert to the French Cut reeds, describing them as the first synthetic reed that responds the way cane does for her. On her recommendation, I bought a couple French Cut reeds for myself, and have been very pleased. It is a pleasure to be able to put a reed on my mouthpiece (BD5) and know it will respond the same as the day before. Looking forward to trying a couple others on my 'jazz' mouthpiece.
I thought that the difference between the American Cut and the Signature would be more pronounced. Both have a nice full sound that works in jazz big band or a classical concert band.
I have been in search of a reed that A. plays consistently, gives me that edge in sound, flexibility and something that will last me a long time. Legere American Cut 2.75 are PERFECT!
I got my bassoon second-hand, and the owner had several (10+) reeds with it. None seemed to work well, and most were at least half a step off of the note I was playing. I'm a new player, so I don't have the skill or knowledge to try and fix these reeds, either with my embouchure or by shaving or whatever else. I use Legere reeds for my saxophone, and they're the best thing ever (way cheaper than cane because they last so much longer while sounding better), so I expect the same from this one. So far so good! It's super easy to use (no soaking or other wonky care needs), and sounds accurate! We'll see on the longevity front, but my saxophone reed lasted almost a year before I even started considering replacing it, so I'm hoping for something similar here!
