The classic Rico orange box Alto Sax reeds are well respected and recommended by many.
They are designed and produced with a thinner tip to make articulation and response as easy as possible. Obviously this suits a beginner but it can also be suitable when used on certain jazz mouthpieces. The huge investment over the last 10-15 years by D'Addario into the Rico brand has ensured they are the most consistenly cut and selected reeds on the market.
Ideal for students and beginners
Also suitable as a flexible and vibrant jazz reed
Thinner tip for ease of response
Supplied in packs of 10
Made in the USA

Excellent quality and price

A market staple for beginners, great for a jazz bebop sound, surprisingly high quality when compared with more expensive lines - and thankfully cheaper than most other reeds for sale today

I\'m getting a good sound from the horn using these soft reeds as a beginner.

Prompt service. Crappy feedback app though- don't like being told more characters required!
