European Cut
Designed for control in solo and ensemble roles.

Independent shopping perspective
At strength 3, the Legere European Cut is a bass clarinet reed for players who want control without committing their part to a single role. Its wider tip is designed to respond easily, and the spine running through the reed’s center enhances resonance. The European Cut’s bright, colorful voice carries complex detail for a solo, yet its design also supports blending within an ensemble. It is intended to move smoothly from the bass clarinet’s low register into its high register.
