RicoSelect Jazz Alto Sax Reeds, Unfiled, Strength 2 Soft, 10-pack

I never seem to get a bad reed. Great product!

La caja llegó dañada, sin embargo, las 25 cañas estaban completas.

A good sound

I love this type of reeds. Very reach sound, very suggested!

We've gotten the select brand of reed for a couple of years now. My son plays alto sax in the high school marching band and needs good reeds. This brand has been very good for my son and we'll continue to buy this brand.

I have always used reeds from this company. As a beginner years ago it seemed the popular brand among jazz artists. Today’s product seems much more durable-I don’t experience splitting with these. They stay whole until they lose the tone I need. I am a huge fan of their strength system. I don’t have an inconsistency or unusability that many speak of. Reeds are so expensive now and I am happy enough with these that I have not given other brands a real go.

First, I bought the sampler pack to see which one was perfect for me. My teacher gave me a 2H filed and it was good, but I like unfiled better. So, I found the 2H unfiled was perfect for me and I ordered a box. Took 3 out to break in. They all played perfectly and exactly the same. That has never happened with the V brand reeds. I am hopeful that the other 7 in the box will be the same. Just watched a video on D'Addario and their process of making reeds. Explains a lot.

These are the finest cane reeds I have ever used.I store my reeds on a sheet of glass in north light. When I first get the reeds I soak them for a few minutes in cool water, " apply a lip squeegee", and set them on a sheet of glass and lightly rub the reed onto the glass... the reed will never have a wavy tip!It takes several short break in sessions... after soaking the reed in cool water, play about 10 min. of long tones and arpeggios followed by drying on a plate of glass in north light before any adjustment that you may make... I "break in " five at a time and 3 or 4 are superb and the others marginal.Always return the "post gig" damp reeds to storage asap to keep them flat!Keep the glass clean or the the reed will stick to it!Rotate your reeds during playing sessions!

My son requested that I buy him these reeds for his sax after trying one his teacher gave him. He found them much better quality than the standard RICO reeds. Prompt delivery and reasonable price. Would buy again.

It was a question of getting the right combination of reed and mouthpiece. I found that a c4 mouthpiece works best with these reeds .

Für mich momentan die besten Holzblätter, die ich ausprobiert habe. Klarer Anstoß, weicher, warmer Klang. Leider halten sie sich nicht sehr lange. Der Sound macht die Lebensdauer aber meiner Meinung nach wett. Außerdem kam es bisher nur selten vor, dass ein Blatt in der Box mal nicht nutzbar war. (Bei manch anderen Marken kann das schon mal des öfteren vorkommen.) Darüber hinaus haben die Blätter für mein Empfinden eine gleichbleibend gute Qualität. Man kennt das ja, dass ein Blatt mal etwas stärker ist, als ein anderes oder umgekehrt. Das kommt bei diesen Blättern auch eher weniger bis gar nicht vor.Daher für mich, wie gesagt, die besten Holzblätter, die ich bisher kenne.

Baumrinden spielen sich besser.Schlechte Ansprache seit der Name sich geändert hat.Bei Lebensmitteln würde man sagen: jetzt mit neuer Rezeptur. Also schlechter als vorher.

le utilizzo con un impoccatura della Rico B/ e come risposta offrono brillantezza e modulazione nel suono durante l'esecuzione.Per le esecuzioni pop rock sono un po troppo soft, almeno io non riesco a simulare sonorità tipo MAN AT WORK, Kenny Loggins....
