The Rico "Orange Box" reeds have established themselves as a classic for their excellent value for money and ease of play. Their characteristic "American" cut promotes immediate vibration, which explains their popularity among students as well as many jazz-oriented musicians.
For whom and for which styles?
With their flexible response at strength 1.5, these reeds are particularly suitable for beginners and intermediate players seeking easy response, as well as for jazz, pop, or marching band musicians looking for a responsive reed. They are available in different versions for various models of clarinets and saxophones.
Sound and design
The thinner vamp cut and lighter heart provide a more immediate attack, a freer playing feel, and good flexibility, useful for dynamics and articulation. The feel is generally easier to control at low air pressure, which helps stabilize the sound during the early years of learning.
Recommended compatible accessories
To ensure optimal hygiene and longevity, the use of a reed case and a swab suitable for your instrument is recommended (compatibility should be chosen according to your clarinet or saxophone).
Product subject to a specific withdrawal right: for hygiene reasons, if the product has been opened, it cannot be returned, refunded, or exchanged.
