Légère American Cut: the modern approach to synthetic reeds
With the American Cut series, Légère offers a saxophone reed made of polypropylene, designed to closely mimic the feel of cane while providing remarkable stability. The manufacturing process aims to adjust the rigidity and density of the material, without adding fiberglass or chemicals.
For which saxophonists?
This reed is intended for saxophonists from beginner to professional, with a strong affinity for jazz. Its playability and easy response also make it a relevant alternative if you are looking for a different response compared to the Signature series.
Sound and design
The American Cut stands out with ultra-thin edges that favor vibrato and a clear attack. Projection remains bright, with a clear low register and a lively altissimo. The polypropylene provides appreciable consistency from session to session, with no soaking or breaking-in time required.
