I will never play a cane reed again! These reeds sound amazing. They last longer than cane reeds too. They can be fragile so be careful but, if taken care of, I can see these reeds lasting months on end. If you are new to playing soprano and you want to try these out, I recommend starting with a 1.5 strength. A 1 strength would be too soft and the tip will close when you are playing your sax.

I've been looking for a good synthetic for the sax. I tried the standard cut and it was too thick and unresponsive. The American cut has more flexibility. I did get a 1/2 strength softer than I played on wooden.

These Legere reeds are not for everyone. I've got them for tenor and alto sax and they work fine. This soprano one is, for me, the best of the bunch. All subjective, but I like it.

It was reliable and perfectly fine for doubling, but pooped out way to soon to justify the hefty price tag.

I’ve solved all my reed issues except cost. These things are spendy at ~ $50 ea. But they are the most trouble free, consistently responsive reeds I’ve played with a perfect blend of edge and warmth-control. Legere American Cut are what I’ll be buying….won’t even be looking around. They can go dead fairly abruptly after 1-3 months….depending on usage. I don’t put that many hours into it so they last pretty much forever.

Have bought three of these American Cut reeds. A 1.75, a 2.0, and another 2.0 so far.I'm finding they last about 6 weeks before they are blown out and unusable. This is longer than a cane reed, but not as long as I'd expected or hoped.There is a short break-in period, maybe a few hours. But this third one I'm finding doesn't seem lively and responsive like the first two I bought. It feels kind of dead, a little stuffy, and hard to blow.It's a shame when synthetic reeds are not consistent and don't even last that long. Sort of defeats the purpose. I liked the first two American Cut reeds I tried, but this one is not so good. Now I guess I will have to try a few more to figure out of this reed is a good value or not.

I will not play cane reeds any more.$40 reed will out last more than one $40 box of reeds. No adjustment necessary. American cut reed is the only reed I will play besides fibracell. Yes they are on the bright side. Not classical. Go down a strength or 2 and you should have a long lasting in tune reed
