I love the flexibility in the Studio Cut reeds so much that I have bought extras so I can have my students can give them a try. The consistency in the reeds have let my students spend more time playing then fighting a cane reed.
If you haven't tried the Studio Cut reed yet give a try.

I have purchased Legere Studio and American Reeds and since I double on Alto,Tenor and Soprano, my reeds are ready to play as I change horns several times. during gigs. I enjoy the tone and projection. I recommend these reeds to other Saxophonists.

I am in my 60s and I have played clarinet and sax for many decades. I finally decided to try the synthetic reed by Legere. The strength chart was accurate to convert my 3.0 green java to a 3.0 Legere Studio Cut for Tenor sax. I was amazed by the quality and consistency. A slightly different feel in the mouth, but that is easily forgotten. No soaking or even wetting the reed. Just put on the mouthpiece dry. Playing is effortless. Sound is excellent. I will be trying some of the other cuts to see what other treasures there may be. Will try for Alto Sax and Clarinet also. Thanks Legere!!

While I like the warm sound of cane reeds, these come very close. What I like best is that they are ready to play right out of the package, unlike some of my "heirloom" reeds that I spent so much time cultivating.

Blow with the greatest of ease
