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

  • Nice reed.
Size: 3-Pack Style: Strength 2.5
Quality is perfect. I only have broken one and I’ve had these for about a month and practice every day. They function well, but they have a little bit of squeak. The ease of play is good and I would recommend getting these reeds.

  • Works well
Size: 3-Pack Style: Strength 2.5
The media could not be loaded. Works well, and are cheaper than Vanduran reeds. A bit of a learning curve from what I’m used to, but work well. But, if you have some more money, I would recommend getting Vanduran reeds. These ones almost felt like they weren’t sanded down (if that makes sense). First I played my low D to high D scale, and had a little bit of trouble, but worked out in the end. ... show more
