A Series Designed for Consistency and Versatility
The Rico Royal range follows a "performance" approach: maintaining a crisp and familiar attack while gaining stability and precision. The wider variety of strengths offered compared to the Rico "Orange Box" series allows for finer selection based on the instrument, mouthpiece, and embouchure.
For Which Player and Styles?
Designed for advanced players, these reeds are also suitable for demanding musicians in conservatories, big bands, or wind orchestras. Their balance makes them relevant for both jazz and classical music, when aiming for a clear, centered sound and reliable response.
Sound and Design
The French cut promotes clean articulation and focused projection, while the more robust vamp provides support, especially in loud dynamics and extreme registers. The result is a homogeneous response, a clearer timbre, and an increased sense of control at the same strength.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve longevity and flatness, a reed protection case (universal size) is recommended, as well as a dry cloth to reduce moisture after playing.
