D'addario - Rico Organic Reserve 2,5 Bb Clar (x 3)

The Organic Reserve Range: A More Responsible Reserve, Still Demanding

With Organic Reserve, D'Addario offers a modern evolution of its Reserve line by focusing on certified organic cane while preserving the series' DNA: consistency, stability, and quality craftsmanship. The brand relies on next-generation digital technologies to achieve remarkable cutting uniformity, a key factor when seeking reliable reeds from box to box.

For Which Clarinetist and Styles?

These reeds for Bb clarinet are suitable for both students in learning stages and professional clarinetists seeking a responsive and consistent reed. Their tonal balance and ease of response make them an excellent choice for classical, wind orchestra, or chamber music, while remaining relevant for variety when a clean, centered, and warm sound is desired.

Sound and Design

The shorter tip contributes to a balanced sound and better homogeneity between registers, particularly appreciated during transitions from chalumeau to clarion registers. The rounded tip promotes warmer and rounder tones, while the thinner tip end enhances response speed, useful for attacks, piano dynamics, and articulated passages. The choice of a traditional blank aims for a familiar feel under the lips, with a focus on consistency and steady performance.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the most out of your reeds, consider a ventilated reed case (to stabilize the cane and limit deformation) and a reed holder to safely carry your box. A clarinet swab is also recommended to keep the instrument dry and stable, which helps preserve reed response and longevity.
