Superb synthetic reed!
Leon Z. 23.02.2022
The sound is smoky, full, with only a hint of buzz associated with synthetic reeds. After the Signature (which is a lot brighter, but still quite pleasant and very durable), which was ok, but had a much more aggressive tone, the American really hits the jazzy spot. It's an absolute joy to play, always pulling me in to play more than the time I allot for my practice regime. The only downside (compared to the Signature) is durability - it loses its consistency and starts to crack (slight hairline cracks in the tip) and fray (at the edges) after about 2-3 months of regular practice (cca. 1hr daily), even if I use 2-3 of them in rotation (swapping the reed after every practice/gig). If you purchase one and like it, make sure you purchase at least one more or two to have in rotation to delay this deterioration.

Legendary Legere

See my more detailed review of the tenor reed. I just love these reeds and use them all the time on my saxophones. No one notices any difference except me. Play them straight from the box. No soaking. Only advice is to buy a half stronger than you usually use so if you play a 2.5 then I would advise you buy a Legere 3. Superb.
