Rico Royal: a range designed for consistency and versatility
The Rico Royal reeds have been designed to offer a familiar feel and great consistency from one reed to another. Their profile aims for a balance between ease of response and sound hold, with a clear intention: to suit both the demands of classical music and the articulation and projection needs of jazz.
Who are they for?
These reeds are primarily intended for advanced musicians seeking a stable response, a more defined sound, and good homogeneity. They are particularly suitable for jazz and classical contexts, where attack precision and timbre clarity make the difference.
Sound and design
With their French cut (a profile favoring precision and clarity) combined with a more robust heart, the Rico Royal offer controlled response, a clearer sound, and consistent playability. The strength 4.0 provides increased resistance: ideal for supporting a centered sound and avoiding squashing at high dynamics.
Recommended compatible accessories
To preserve the lifespan of your reeds: dry them flat after playing and store them in a ventilated holder (such as a reed case) to limit deformation.
