Legere alto sax reed for jazz and light music
The Legere American Cut Altsax 1.75 is a synthetic reed for alto saxophone developed with jazz and light music as its clear focus. This alto sax reed combines an extremely playable response with a balance of articulation and control, so you can start notes directly and precisely.
Legere developed the American Cut after a six-year research process to advance Signature Series technology. If you play alto sax and found the Signature range just short of the warmth and energy you wanted, this version is aimed specifically at that need.
American Cut profile with warm low register and lively altissimo
The character of this synthetic saxophone reed comes from a completely redesigned profile and heart, combined with a shorter, wider tip. By moving material from the rails toward the center, the reed vibrates freely while still giving you control over articulation.
In practice, that translates into a clearly warm low register and lively altissimo, the saxophone’s upper register. The ultra-thin edges let the reed vibrate without restriction, making this Legere American Cut suitable for amateur and experienced jazz saxophonists looking for a synthetic alto sax reed 1.75.
Strength 1.75 for alto saxophone
This version is made for alto saxophone and comes in strength 1.75. The transparent finish gives the reed its recognizable look.
If you need advice on the right reed strength for your mouthpiece and playing style, Magna Music can also help with personal guidance from staff who play themselves.
