D'Addario Woodwinds - Royal Baritone Saxophone Reeds - Baritone Sax Reeds with Strong Spine - Great for Classical or Jazz - Strength 4.0

Talking about reeds one has to mention also the mouthpiece. In my case it is Vandoren V16 B9. I have several others, but haven't had time to try them yet. I'm going upwards in the numbers trying to get more of that Mulligan type of sound I'm looking for. In my mind I thought that harder reeds could help. And, yes, the 3.5 reeds really got me closer. The best effect was from the Ricos, but the Royal and Hemke came very close. The Hemke had a bit "softer" or "muted" sound. I'm not a fan of such an open/hard tip opening vs. reed combo, but so far it seems to work OK. I also wanted to try D'Addario reeds as I recently faced some "endurance" problems with Vandoren trad No. 3, which should be close to these. I was positively surprised by the Rico (orange box), which people tend to downplay frequently. I've heard that they are identical to the LaVoz reeds (which I generally like). In any case, to me it was a good buy and an interesting study.

This product is good buy it

I don't use these because they're cheap (like most). I use them because they are my favorite.**I am a band director and performance musician in and around the Cincinnati, OH area.

These Rico reeds are a change for me..normally use Confirm..but these were on sale so thought I would give them a try..not disappointed. If you are looking for a change..give these a shot.

These are ... okay. They aren't the best reeds, but they are affordable. With a box of 10, you're certain to get at least a few that are decent.

Rico's 3.5 are not too hard and not too soft, also great for classical and jazz. I highly recommend this brand for baritone, as well as tenor.

Excellent product. Recommended brand by our music instructor. Great that they are almost half the price of the local music store.

My son Loves these reeds.

Le prendo per il sax di mio figlio, nella media, costano troppo

Klar, bei einer 10er Box kann auch mal ein negativer Ausreisser dabei sein, aber das ist ein Naturprodukt und keine künstliche Fertigung mit völlig identischen Ergebnissen.

姪っ子に頼まれ買いました！使いやすいようです。

Ai reçu une boite d'anches Rico Royal de force 3 au lieu de 3 1/2 que j'ai gardée quand même.

最初は10枚入りでこの値段！？と思った。学生にはありがたいコスパで疑問を抱きながら買ってみました。カットにはバラツキはあるものの鳴り方はバラツキはなく、開けてすぐ鳴らせることができ、10枚でこれなら素晴らしいと思いました。しかし、3半表記にも関わらず10枚全て3以下の薄さのように感じました。リコロイヤルは初めてだったのでこういうものなのか、と割り切ってます。吹奏楽のコンクール用にリードが欲しかったのですが、当初の目的ではなくイベントのポップスの曲などで使っていこうかと思ってます。
