European Cut

After a 35 year absence, I returned to playing clarinet. I was told to try the Legere synthetic reeds. WOW, what a difference from traditional wooden reeds. I did not believe a synthetic could be as good as wood. It is FAR superior. Consistent, great tone. Thank You. This makes my "return" much more enjoyable.

The Legere is the softest and deepest reed I've ever used. Legere produces a variety of reeds, but the Signature is my favorite.

Bb Soprano Clarinet Signature

Plays effortless and precise.

Couldn't think of a better title so. Using legere signature reeds on all 4 of the common saxophones. What I like best is they are consistent from low B flat to altissimo F sharp and they don't dry out. I have some issues with developing cotton mouth when playing in large ensembles and they eliminate this. Overall a quality product and a great improvement in the synthetic reed category. I should note that I'm old enough to remember Fiber Cane reeds being the best thing since butter on bread.

I’m 75 years old and have been playing sax since I was 12. After laying the horn down for several years I’m back at it playing several times a week and loving it. My biggest concern before playing for an event has always been reeds. I am not one to spend time trying to clip, sand, file, or pray over a reed. Thank goodness Legere came along. I’ve used several varieties of their reeds and have discovered the Singnature works best for me. The confidence of knowing my sound is going to be just the way I like gives me the confidence to go for the altissimo and get funky with the low ones.

I just started to play saxophone and I can honestly say I wouldn't continue without Legere reeds. For me theyare so much easier to use...much appreciated!

I was really impressed how well my b flat clarinet, number 3 reed performed. Great response and tone from the lowest note to the third octave D. I would suggest a number 4 reed above the third octave D.

To me, the French cut reeds seem to pair well with more “traditional” mouthpieces that weren’t designed to specifically accommodate the European cut, or synthetic reeds in general. They provide a good alternative the V12.

I use these reeds on soprano sax. even response up and down the horn and cleaned up intonation trouble spots--playing my soprano is now fun

Signature is a high quality reed and give me confidence in playing classical music

Tenor Saxophone French Cut

I have both the 2.0 and 3.0 Legere Studio cut reed. Like the thickness of the reed. Tone, sound and projection is amazing.

Nice sound. Very consistent, nice gradations.

The American Cut 2.75 is just right for me on a larger alto sax tip opening for jazz. The bright, focused sound is easy to control and consistent day after day, even during weather changes.
