Rico Royal: A Versatile Reference in the Rico Range
The Rico Royal series was designed to offer a highly sought-after compromise: a responsive and comfortable reed that also delivers greater precision and sound definition. This approach makes it a very popular choice when looking for a reed capable of handling both nuanced sound work and fast passages, with a consistent playing feel from one reed to another.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Offered here in strength 2.0, the Rico Royal reeds are primarily aimed at advanced musicians who want an immediate response and a clear sound. Their balance makes them suitable for both jazz and classical contexts, when easy response and good stability across registers are desired.
Response, Flexibility, and Cut
With their American cut and a more robust vamp, these reeds provide a crisp attack sensation and consistent behavior, useful for maintaining control during register changes. The design aims for a good balance between flexibility (to facilitate response) and stability (to maintain a clear and centered tone), which promotes precise articulation and well-defined projection.
