 The Legere French Cut Honeymoon

.....is over.....


I say that with love and all due respect. I will also say that I am an unabashed fan of the Legere reed concept and would never EVER consider moving back to cane.


Over the last month I have used the Legere French Cut reed exclusively (I have four). All the good things that I and others have said are true, and yet I'd have to say that those characteristics point to a future, more finished product.


The other day I went back to the Legere Signature Soprano Saxophone reeds that were winners for me prior to the French Cut reed trial and found that the sound was richer, louder, more adjustable and better for articulated larger intervals (both up and down directions). I will leave room for the fact that this was due to what I had gotten used to over YEARS rather than weeks, but it was an obviously superior result (I didn't have to parse differences).


My theory is that there are an infinite number of combinations for the architecture and the types of plastic formula that Legere can piece together. Each of those would have characteristics that have both positives and negatives associated with them. My suggestion (which they may already have ruled out) is to try the "older" Signature Soprano Saxophone plastic (more rigged, slightly brittle sounding, more desirable under certain circumstances) with the French Cut architecture that could perhaps have even thicker stock (up and down dimension), or a more pronounce double heart, or both.


I'm certain there will be a greater reed from Legere down the road based on the French Cut architecture. Certainly they offer enough variety now (including the current French Cut) that will satisfy many many folks.
