I've been using Legere Signature and American Cut reeds on my tenor for about two years and I love them . But the new French Cut is so nice . The French Cut gives my slightly bright Yamaha sax a nice fat sound . I suppose "classical," is the correct adjective. This reed works well in my concert wind band . But, also, in my jazz band, the French Cut helps me come through a nice vintage Jazz sound, ala Dexter Gordon. So again, I'll say a big ,"fat," sound . This is my new favorite reed.
