  • 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
