Legere tenor sax reed for jazz and light music
The Legere American Cut Tenorsax 2 is a synthetic reed for tenor saxophone, developed for jazz and light music. This American Cut series grew out of a six-year research project to advance Signature Series technology for demanding jazz saxophonists.
If you are looking for a tenor sax reed with a very playable response, this strength 2 model suits a wide range of players. According to Legere, it appeals to both amateur and experienced jazz saxophonists.
American Cut profile with warmth, articulation and control
The character of this synthetic saxophone reed comes from a fully redesigned profile and heart, combined with a shorter, wider tip. By moving material from the rails to the center, it delivers a balance of articulation and control that you notice immediately while playing.
The ultra-fine edges allow the reed to vibrate freely. You hear that in a clearly warm low register and a lively altissimo, making this Legere reed a strong choice if the Signature series left you wanting just a bit more warmth and energy.

At Magna Music, you can also get advice from people who play themselves, which is useful when comparing different reed series.
