Plasticover: The Rico Spirit, Designed for the Stage
Plasticover reeds are based on the standard Rico cut, known for its ease of play, and add a protective coating. This concept, highly appreciated by musicians who go through rehearsals, concerts, and changing conditions, aims for a simple goal: reliable response and direct sound, without being affected by humidity.
For Which Musicians and Styles
These reeds are particularly suitable for intermediate to advanced musicians seeking a stable reed with immediate response. They excel in jazz, pop, variety, amplified music, and outdoor performances, where projection and consistency are essential.
Sound and Design
The coating provides a bright character, marked projection, and a lasting feel. The 2.0 strength offers a good balance between ease of response, control, and flexibility, with a quick response that favors clear articulations and precise attacks.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve flatness and longevity, a ventilated reed case (flat drying) is a simple and effective daily complement.
