D'addario - Rico PLASTICOVER ALTO SAXOPHONE REEDS 3

A Reference Designed for Stability, in the Spirit of "Ready-to-Play" Reeds

The Plasticover series has established itself as a practical alternative to traditional reeds by focusing on selected cane and a protective coating that limits environmental impact on the reed's behavior. This approach appeals to musicians seeking a reliable, consistent reed that is less sensitive to humidity fluctuations, especially during travel, outdoor concerts, or consecutive sets.

For Which Musician and Usage?

At force 3.0, these reeds are mostly aimed at intermediate to advanced musicians who want good support, power retention, and a clear attack. Their bright character and projection make them a relevant choice for jazz, pop, variety music, brass and reed sections, as well as contexts where you need to "cut through" the mix.

Sound and Design

The standard cut combined with the Plasticover coating promotes easy response and a homogeneous reaction, with a bright timbre and projection that stands out well. The coating also contributes to a feeling of stability under variable climates, while offering a longer lifespan than many untreated reeds, depending on playing intensity and maintenance. The series is announced as more consistent than before thanks to high-precision manufacturing controls.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the response and longevity of your reeds, a rigid reed case (chosen to match your reed's size ) remains the simplest solution for transport and storage between sessions.
