collapse expand iconDescription

The Rico Bb Clarinet Reeds are meticulously crafted to coax the optimal tone and articulation from your instrument. Whether you're a budding beginner, aspiring professional or veteran educator, Rico reeds are designed to inspire confidence with their peerless consistency and durability. Sporting a thinner cut and profile, Rico reeds are primed to resonate freely and project powerfully. The result is a reed that responds eagerly to the lightest breath, yet retains its integrity through hours of rigorous practice and performance. When the moment arrives to take the stage, you can rely on Rico reeds to elevate your playing.

Thinner Profile Provides Effortless Response

Rico reeds feature a thinner cut and profile than traditional reeds, allowing for a livelier pop and swifter response. Their lightweight construction makes playing feel almost effortless, even at louder dynamics or accelerated tempos. The thinner profile also helps Rico reeds vibrate more freely, resulting in a tone that sings with clarity and focus. For beginners and intermediate players still developing breath control and embouchure strength, the lighter touch and added responsiveness of Rico reeds can help build confidence during practice sessions and recitals alike.

Unparalleled Consistency From Reed to Reed

Rico leverages state-of-the-art reed-making technology and quality-control processes to achieve an unprecedented level of consistency. Each reed is fashioned with laser-like precision to strict tolerances, ensuring that no two reeds vary significantly in cut, thickness or profile. This means that when one reed wears out, the next reed in the box will respond and sound nearly identical. For educators guiding students through method books and solos, the consistency of Rico reeds helps eliminate variables, allowing learners to focus solely on technique and expression.

Affordable Price With Professional Results

While Rico reeds yield professional-caliber results, they remain highly affordable for musicians on any budget. Students, amateurs and working musicians alike can enjoy the benefits of Rico reeds without breaking the bank. For beginners starting out on a clarinet, the value and quality of Rico reeds make them an ideal first reed. As skills develop and reeds wear out, players can simply move on to the next reed in the box—all while keeping more money in their pocket to spend on other essential gear or accessories.

    I'm retracting myself to play as I haven't played in over 10 years and these are a great strength to jump back in with. I've always used Rico reeds, but I really like the quality of the Royal ones over the normal reeds.

  • A good product at a fair price
