Rico by D'Addario Bb Clarinet Reeds, Strength 2, 10-pack

My 13-year-old son picked up the clarinet last year and has continue the same this year at school. These Rico reeds have been lasting for a month. Very high quality and a good stiffness for the beginning player.

I like that the brand has differnt multipacks to fit my needs. Ordering and delivery were fast %26 easy. Very satisfied and would definitely recommend to others!

Good product! Recommended by teacher for beginners/kids.

Best clarinet reed.

Great price and product.

These work great for the clarinet. Used this brand for years!

Works great! Love Rico reeds

These reeds are great! I had to rescue my clarinet from the closet and clean it up to test them. I had a 2.0 of another brand in it and it never performed the way I wanted it to. This reed was a much better "fit" for me and the old friend. My Husky wasn't sure what to think as I warmed up, but I am happy. This is going to probably help me stretch my COPD lungs as well. Thank you, Spark and Rico! Forgot to get a picture of the reed itself, but my happy clarinet is shown below. Already put everything back in its place.

This is a good beginner or practice reed. It feels pretty smooth and is a nice quality. The reed has a standard spine, with a traditional blank and a thinner vamp profile. Each reed comes with its own protective plastic sleeve with air holes built in. D'Addario also has a player's circle where you can earn points on each purchase and then redeem them for gear or merchandise. A nice added bonus in my book.

A good thing is the packaging has improved in the 30 years since I bought reeds! Individual protectors mean I won't be chipping reeds just taking them out of the package. Although my playing ability is lacking the 2.5 reed is forgiving enough to allow me to focus on building my chops back to a somewhat tolerable sound. The reed itself fits perfectly on the mouthpiece and is comfortable to play. I used to play more expensive reeds, but the quality of the Rico reed along with the superior packaging means that I will be sticking with this set up for the foreseeable future.
