A "classic" reference in the Rico range
The Rico "Orange Box" reeds are known for their immediate sound access: the American cut combined with a thinner vamp and refined heart promotes quick vibration. This "easy and efficient" positioning explains their popularity among jazz musicians, students, and teachers seeking a practical, consistent, and affordable choice.
For which musician and styles?
With their flexible response, these reeds are particularly suitable for beginners and intermediate players, as well as musicians who want a responsive reed to work on phrasing. They perform well in jazz, pop, marching band, and contemporary music, while remaining relevant for daily practice.
Sound and design
The thinner profile and heart than usual provide a freer playing feel and easier attack, with vibration that starts quickly. The 2.0 strength helps maintain good flexibility for response and dynamics, while remaining comfortable over long rehearsals and lessons.
Recommended compatible accessories
Each model is available according to the instrument (clarinet or saxophone, and the exact type), so it is recommended to choose accessories (ligature, mouthpiece cap, reed case) based on your precise reference and your mouthpiece.
