I'm an adult/mature beginner and was managing with 1.5/2.0 cane reeds on my AS400 horn, but did spend a lot of time on reed-maintenance - including polishing the reeds with my home-made reedgeek type of tool. Then, the good reeds out of the box were short-lived as cane-reeds have a very short finite useful play-time. Was putting off purchasing the Légère synthetic reed because of the cost per, but finally bit the bullet and purchased a Signature-cut 2.0 strength after a lot of reading/research. My son - who was an intermediate Saxophonist in the school-band several years ago managed to use the Signature 2.0 but there was a bit of a struggle. As for me, although I could play a few tunes, I could not sustain the higher air-column/pressure needed to make this Sig 2.0 work. That's when I ordered this Légère American-cut 1.5. The difference is phenomenal! No more wasted time in maintaining the cane-reeds. Anytime and every time I pick up my Sax, this American-cut 1.5 does not let me down. It just plays and plays - as long I want to blow my horn. By far I found this Légère American-cut 1.5 to be good sounding overall - for easy articulation (and blowing) with mid, lower, and upper registers - without any issues. At this time I'm unable to speak about its durability and service-life. Time will tell. I'm no expert, but based on my own experience, I highly recommend this Légère American-cut reeds for all beginners.

Die Ansprache und die Intonation sind sehr gut. Das Blatt klingt nicht ganz so weich und rund wie teure Holzblätter. Aber dieser Unterschied ist wirklich marginal. Ich würde, insbesonders Anfängern, eindeutig zu diesem Blatt Stärke 2 raten. Die Gründe sind die Haltbarkeit, die mittlerweile nicht mehr so hohe Qualität der Holzblätter, direkte Spielbarkeit ohne Anfeuchten und eine leichte und schöne Ansprache bis hoch in die zweite Oktave.

Great, durable reed. Plays easy and sounds good.
