The Royal Range: Rico Balance with More Fineness
The Rico Royal reeds stand out by seeking a middle ground between two approaches: the traditional Rico cut and characteristics close to the French cut. The result aims for better attack definition, more stable response, and an increased sense of control, while maintaining the ease of play that has made Rico reeds renowned. The Royal series is also offered in a wider range of strengths than the Rico "Orange Box," to better suit each musician's preferences.
Who Are These Reeds For?
Designed for advanced musicians, Rico Royal reeds are particularly suitable for those seeking a responsive reed that remains consistent when playing dynamics, fast articulation, or switching registers. Their profile makes them relevant for both jazz (projection, precision) and classical (clearer sound, balance) styles.
Response and Playing Feel
At strength 3.0, these reeds offer medium resistance, often appreciated for their endurance and stability. The announced American cut, combined with a more robust vamp, promotes a consistent response, good attack hold, and a clearer tone. The goal is to achieve comfortable and consistent playing, with a clear sound and reliable response across the entire range.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Each reed depends on the type of instrument (clarinet or saxophone) and the exact model (e.g., Bb, alto, tenor, etc.). Without this information, it is not possible to confidently recommend a specific ligature, mouthpiece, or case.
