Pros

The american cut is similar to the signature cut, but with a little more sparkle in the sound! I find that these american cuts are a little softer than the signatures. I prefer a darker more focused sound so the signature legeres actually work better ... Read More

They come with a nice reusable case to protect the reed. Goofed with reeds for a month. The downsides are not a big deal. Worth every penny.

I play a yamaha 875 custom ex and it sounds awesome. The american cut reed is easier to play than the studio cut. I like the sound and overtones that they produce.

Quality

It gives you an more loud sound than what you would play on a wooden reed i live the quality and hopefully it lasts me forever

It is so easy to use and the sound quality is really good

Im pretty frustrated with the reed reed so i gave the synthetic version a try and there is no going back

50 jazz reed before and so i went with the legere american cut 2

Price

I suppose this makes the price increase worth it

The price seems a bit high the highest price reed that legere offers

Packaging/appearance

However they have finally improved the packaging so the reed cannot bend or become warped during storage and transport

Competitiveness

Compared to vandoren 3s i must say i am impressed

This is paired with a vandoren al3 optimum mouthpiece and vandoren optimum ligature

So if you normally play on a 3 cane reed like a vandoren you would need to only go down to a 2
