  • Impressive workmanship
Size: Strength 2.5 Style: 10-Pack
the reeds are amazing

  • Great for our beginning saxophone player
Size: Strength 2.5 Style: 10-Pack
These were a great option for our child just starting the saxophone. They lasted quite awhile, and were easy for him to produce a good tone. He has since "upgraded" to a different brand, but these were great for his first year or so of playing saxophone.

  • Reeds that read
Size: Strength 2.5 Style: 10-Pack
from beginner to expert, Rico's are tested and trusted across the board. For any alto sax user, these reeds are easy to line up, sturdy, and don't easily crack even after multiple "vigorous" uses

  • Industry standard for a reason
Size: Strength 2.5 Style: 10-Pack
There's a reason nearly every band student has at least heard of Rico orange box reeds. They're the middle of the road jack of all trades of saxophone reeds. A 2.5 or 3 is just as at home in the mouth of a jazz musician as a classical saxologist. Unfortunately, it's been my continued experience that at least 1 in every pack is going to be unplayable, and at least 2-3 more need some attention. The absolute easiest tweak you can do that I've found saves 9*9% of my "bad" reeds from being thrown away or used as a toothpick, is a simple nail file. I have a bunch of nail files in different size and grit that I use on my actual fingernails, and they're literally a dime a dozen, but I like a nice, soft, fine grit for reeds, preferably one that's just big enough for youi to hold the reed between your finger and thumb while you GENTLY run the file over the facing of the reed. You don't want to take off a lot (Unless it's literally tree bark and you're already sure it's a dud anyway). Just a little at a time can go a long way, no special tools or training required. ... show more

I have always used Rico reeds. The only brand I have used since I was in school. That was many years ago. Now I am able to buy them for my kid! They still have the same great sound that I remember.
