The American Cut is the culmination of a 6-year research project to advance Legere's Signature Series technology and create a reed that answers the needs of the world’s most discerning jazz musicians. Legere are proud to say the American Cut delivers everything they set out to achieve, and much, much more.

What makes the American Cut so special?

From the very first note, the reed speaks without hesitation. It is effortlessly free-blowing, responsive, colourful, and loaded with personality. The reed’s unmistakable character is thanks to an entirely reinvented profile and heart, and a shorter and wider vamp. By drawing material from the edges toward the centre spine, the reed strikes a harmonious balance of responsiveness and control. Ultra-fine edges allow unrestrained vibration rewarding the player with a clear low-register and vibrant altissimo.

What type of player will enjoy the American Cut?

Jazz players from absolute beginners to renowned masters. The reed’s extremely playable nature, however, ensures that a broad range of artists will adore it, especially those who felt that the Signature reed did not match their tone.

“Let's just say this… I wish I had a reed "exactly" like this one every time I applied it to my mouthpiece! It has the "buzz", the edge, the projection, and the consistency up and down the alto sax." Gerald Albright, American Jazz Saxophonist.

    Tried a 2.50 and loving the results,I like the fact that they go up in quarters, sometimes a wder mouthpiece is more strength friendly rather than just reed friendly

    Been using these now for about a year, they suit what I am doing right now the 2.25 is perfect for me because it does not soften like a regular reed I get consistency in all registers

    Revisiting plastic reeds

    It's been a long time since I played on a synthetic reed,and I'm so glad I tried the Legere American cut alto reed. Recommended by a friend who has been using them for a while now. I don't play hard reeds and after a while of playing as the reed softens I find altissimo hard, with the legere 2.25 it stays constant and I am having so much fun now. A d thanks to the guys at Curly for great pricing.
