Introducing the French Cut, by Légère. A refined, symphonic reed that gives players a richness and stability in tone, without any sacrifice to response. With a profile that has been completely reimagined, the French Cut has been designed for a dark, centered tone that allows for a deep range of emotional expression. The reed is responsive but even, with the perfect amount of resistance.

Nice sound

French cut reed has a very nice sound. Is nicely responsive, and much easier to deal with to start playing. Good for intermittent playing during an event where you are switching instruments or duties in a performance (pit orchestra for musicals, alternating between conductor and player, long intervals during church services or programs). For long gigs, you do have to take a break and swab the reed and mouthpiece dry as the reed dies not absorb the blowing moisture but a better tradeoff than preping a different reed completely.

Amazing Reed!

This is a wonderful reed that is able to produce a rich, dark sound and is also extremely responsive. I love everything about it and can't wait to play with it some more.

What a great reed!

I’ve been using the European Cut for several years, and it’s ok… liked (but didn’t love) the sound, but did love the no-hassle nature of these reeds. So, I would bounce back and forth between cane and Legere. The French Cut plays like a good cane reed to me, so I think my cane days are over.

The strength chart is pretty accurate. I was comfortable playing a European Cut 3.75, and the 3.75 / 4.0 French Cut pretty much straddle the European 3.75. Took me a bit of experimentation with French Cut 3.75 and 4.0, before settling on the 4.0. Just ordered two more!
