A Modernized "Classic" Reed: The Rico Spirit with Added Stability
Plasticover reeds are based on a standard Rico cut, recognizable for its balance between ease of play and performance, while adding a plastic coating designed to ensure the reed's behavior in challenging conditions. Where a traditional reed may absorb moisture, swell, and then respond differently depending on temperature, the Plasticover aims instead for immediate stability and quick setup. This approach makes it a top choice for musicians who alternate between stages, soundchecks, travel, and changing environments.
Who Are They For, and In Which Styles?
These reeds are suitable both for beginners seeking a reed that is easy to manage daily, and for intermediate and advanced players wanting reliable response on stage.
