Have used the clarinet reeds for a few years now and have been extremely pleased with the sound, playability, and longevity of them. So, I decided to try the American Cut Alto Sax reed and the Signature Alto Sax reed. After giving both a try, I must say that I really prefer the American Cut over the Signature. Both are good reeds, but the American Cut sounds much clearer and responds much quicker and more reliably. So far I haven’t gone wrong with any Legere reed purchases.
