Plasticover: a benchmark designed for stability
Originating from the Rico tradition, Plasticover reeds stand out due to their protective coating, designed to maintain stable performance when conditions change (stage, outdoors, humidity). Modern manufacturing processes further enhance consistency from one reed to another.
For which musicians and playing contexts?
These reeds are particularly suitable for musicians seeking reliable response and a sound that "projects" easily: jazz, pop, variety, amplified ensembles, and outdoor performances. Strength 1.5 promotes a flexible and comfortable emission.
Response and cut
With their Rico standard cut (American cut) and coating, Plasticover reeds offer a clear attack, good projection, and a feeling of stability in playing, even when humidity usually disrupts the cane.
Recommended compatible accessories
To preserve longevity, a ventilated reed case and a swab suitable for the instrument are good allies (compatibility should be chosen according to your instrument).
