I had tried the original Legere Signatures before, and I was ok with them, but still didn't make me leave cane. Now the American Cut, wow, what an incredible improvement. Easy to play, great response. I think they got 95% of the cane but with none of the maintenance or handling. They actually made me stop using cane. I still think cane sound is slightly more malleable and flexible, but that 5% isn't worth the hassle of cane reeds IMHO.
Fantastic product.
