Size: 10-Pack Style: Strength 3.0
I've returned to Rico reeds after decades. Like many of the reviewers, I was always under the impression Rico reeds are for beginners, not consistent from one reed to another and that they don't produce good sound quality. They're what i played until middle school (decades ago) when I switched to Royal reeds. Recently, I watched a YouTube review where the reviewer explained Rico and LaVoz reeds (historically played by many professionals) are the exact same reeds. I bought some Rico reeds and found no difference. Rico reeds are excellent reeds for all level players. They are among my favorites. I read Amazon reviews saying they don't last, are of poor quality, smell, do/don't produce a bad smell, etc. After playing dozens of reed brands over the years, I can say none of that it true. These reeds are top level reeds at a price way lower than what they could be. There's no down side to these reeds. ... show more

  • Acceptable condition - not great product.

Rico’s are alright. For anyone other than beginners I would really stay away especially for tenor reeds however that’s not because of a fault of this specific product.

  • Best bang for the price
Size: 10-Pack Style: Strength 2.5
I've tried just about all the tenor reeds on the market except the really cheap Chinese products. In my opinion, the Ricco tenor reeds do the job, last at least as long as any other brand, and are great for the price. I use them daily.

  • Good reeds
Size: 3-Pack Style: Strength 3.0
Purchased these to try a firmer read. Most times I purchased a box, the reeds were very inconsistent. I often had to shave some of the down, so I just went with a 3 pack to see how comfortable they would play. Simply awesome! Reeds were all consistent and I love the difference in my sound.
