Legere American Cut ASA1.75 Alto Saxophone Reed

Synthetic Alto Saxophone Reed for Jazz Playing

The Légère AMERICAN CUT Altsax ASA1.75 is a strength 1.75 synthetic reed for alto saxophone, made from food-grade polypropylene and individually tested for hardness. Its American cut profile pairs a shorter, wider vamp with ultra-fine edges, producing a clear tone attack, clean low register, and lively altissimo from the first note. Because the non-porous material needs no soaking, it does not swell during breaks and stays consistent through changes in temperature and humidity — a low-maintenance alternative to cane for jazz players from beginners to working professionals.

Why Players Choose This Reed

• Strength 1.75 — lighter cut for a more flexible response
• American cut profile — reinvented heart, shorter and wider vamp
• Ultra-fine edges — good vibrato, colorful tone
