Rico Royal Alto Saxophone Reeds Strength 2 Box of 25

Rico Royal Alto Saxophone Reeds are the go-to choice for student and intermediate saxophonists seeking consistent, reliable performance at an exceptional value. Made from premium cane grown in the Var region of France, these reeds are processed using a French filing treatment that produces a thicker blank than standard Rico reeds, resulting in a richer, more resonant tone with better projection and improved response across all registers. Strength 2 reeds are ideally suited for beginners and early intermediate players — they respond easily with minimal effort, allowing students to focus on tone development and technique rather than fighting a resistant reed. Each reed in this box of 25 is individually wrapped in Rico’s Fresh Sound packaging to preserve moisture balance and maintain consistent playing characteristics. Rico’s computer-controlled reed-making machinery ensures a high degree of consistency from reed to reed, reducing the frustration of finding playable reeds in every box. The graduated cut and taper of the Rico Royal design provides a smooth transition from the stock to the tip, resulting in smooth, even vibration across the entire reed surface. Compatible with all standard alto saxophone mouthpieces, these reeds are an outstanding value purchase for students and teachers running large programs.
