Legere American Cut tenor sax reed for jazz and light music
If you are looking for a synthetic tenor sax reed with quick response for jazz and light music, the Legere American Cut Tenorsax 3 is a focused choice. This model was developed to meet the needs of demanding jazz saxophonists and also appeals to amateur and experienced players through its highly playable character.
The American Cut builds on Legere Signature Series technology and is the result of a six-year research process. For players who found the Signature range just short of the warmth and energy they wanted, this version offers a different character within the synthetic saxophone reed line.
Design and playing response of this synthetic reed
The distinctive character of this tenor sax reed comes from a completely redesigned profile and heart, with a shorter and wider tip. By moving material from the rails toward the center, it delivers a balance of articulation and control that gives you a clear grip on response and phrasing in practice.
The ultra-fine edges allow the reed to vibrate freely. You hear that in a clearly warm low register and lively altissimo. This Legere American Cut comes in strength 3 and a transparent finish, for saxophonists looking for a synthetic tenor sax reed with a pronounced jazz-oriented response.
