I use 2.0 French cut legere reeds and i really appreciate there consistent quality and dark sound!
I started using for teaching due to having long periods in between playing and using multiple instruments, but I've slowly transitioned to using them for teaching and performing! They're consistent and produce a great tone quality.
I discovered the French Cut line last summer as an undergraduate student and they have not failed me since. They are easy to maintain, consistent in tone, and last a while. Worth the investment especially if you need to have your reeds ready on the go.
I was getting tired of sorting through boxes to find good reeds. I was recommended to try Légère and I don't know if I will ever go back to cane reeds. The French Cut for alto works perfectly with my Selmer Concept and Caravan mouthpieces to give me that dark tone.
My favorite reed has always been Vandoren blue box traditional reeds for every style if playing. The french cut compares favorably to them. They have a darker tone, are consistent and responsive. I wish they were available for soprano and baritone saxophones also.
