Legere American Cut alto sax reed for jazz and light music
The Legere American Cut Altsax 2.25 is a synthetic reed for alto saxophone developed with jazz and light music in mind. This model came out of a six-year research project to advance Signature Series technology and meet the needs of demanding jazz saxophonists.
If you want an alto sax reed that responds easily while still giving you plenty of control, this 2.25 strength is a strong match for players looking for quick response across jazz and light music styles.
Redesigned profile with warm lows and lively altissimo
The character of the Legere American Cut comes from a fully redesigned profile and heart, combined with a shorter, wider tip. By moving material from the edges toward the center, the reed delivers a strong balance of articulation and control.
The ultra-fine edges let the reed vibrate freely. In practice, that gives you a clearly warm low register and lively altissimo, the high register above the usual range of the saxophone.
Who is this synthetic reed for?
The American Cut is known for its highly playable nature. That makes this Legere alto sax reed appealing to both amateur players and experienced jazz saxophonists, especially if the Signature series felt just short of the warmth and energy you wanted.
You are choosing the transparent version in strength 2 1/4, made specifically for alto saxophone. At Magna Music, you can also rely on advice from people who work with and play wind instruments themselves.
