I was quite saddened to hear that Studio Cut reeds are being discontinued, as I feel that the Studio Cut 1.5 reed is unique in the Légère line up and the only one that works perfectly with my setup. It's soft and flexible (softer than the American Cut 1.5), and I'm able to get a very clean sound with it. It also allows me to play every note on my tenor exceptionally clearly, from low Bb up to the altissimo range with strong projection. In fact, using the Studio 1.5 I was able to hit altissimo notes and overtones that I'd never been able to play before! Truly amazing. Légère, please reconsider and don't discontinue this reed cut!
This is my first synthetic reed, and I must say, I'm IMPRESSED. It reacts just like a natural reed and maybe it's mental, but I feel like I don't get fatigued as quickly using the synthetic. I would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
I have retrained myself to play with these reeds.
Thank you for the comments, we appreciate your feedback.
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.
We truly appreciate your feedback and are grateful for your kind words!
Legere Team,
I want to acknowledge that the Legere Tenor Saxophone Studio Cut Reed (1.50) plays excellent for my style of music (funk, smooth jazz, pop, movie and Xmas tunes). The quality is excellent, formulated to last and consistent during practices & performances. So much better than cane reeds!
Thank you,
Norman Cheng
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to know you enjoyed your reed.
REALLY ENJOYING MY TENOR SAXOPHONE STUDIO CUT REED! I FEEL MORE RELAXED WITH THE WAY THE REED FEELS AND RESPONDS. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE. ESPECIALLY IF THEY PLAY OUTSIDE OFTEN. HOWEVER, IT'S GREAT FOR PLAYING INSIDE AS WELL! FIVE STARS!!
Thank you for the thoughtful and detailed review, we appreciate your comments!
