Review: Review - I've returned to Rico reeds after decades. Like many of the reviewers, I was always under the impression Rico reeds are for beginners, not consistent from one reed to another and that they don't produce good sound quality. They're what i played until middle school (decades ago) when I switched to Royal reeds. Recently, I watched a YouTube review where the reviewer explained Rico and LaVoz reeds (historically played by many professionals) are the exact same reeds. I bought some Rico reeds and found no difference. Rico reeds are excellent reeds for all level players. They are among my favorites. I read desertcart reviews saying they don't last, are of poor quality, smell, do/don't produce a bad smell, etc. After playing dozens of reed brands over the years, I can say none of that it true. These reeds are top level reeds at a price way lower than what they could be. There's no down side to these reeds. Review: Works Well - Great Quality, Protected in great hard plastic. Ready to use. ## Features - Tenor Sax Reeds: Crafted with beginners and educators in mind, these reeds are designed for ease of play, featuring a traditional blank and profile for ease of response, plus a unfiled cut for a clear sound - Ideal for Students: The standard among teachers and students for generations, Rico reeds create a perfect seal on the instrument mouthpiece and are designed to reward the student with an immediate sound - Find Your Expression: Rico is the reed of choice among all levels of clarinetists and saxophonists, played in the world's most respected symphonies, conservatories, and jazz clubs - Play to Your Highest Potential: We've got reeds for every woodwind from alto, soprano, tenor, baritone and bass saxophone to Bb, Eb, bass and alto clarinet, along with a full selection of mouthpieces, straps, cork grease, reed cases and more - D'Addario Rico: Designed and manufactured in the USA from naturally-grown cane, our reeds are made with excellence; From D'Addario Rico and Royal to our certified organic Reserve and Select Jazz lines, we've got a reed for every player ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0012IWNPO | | Best Sellers Rank | #378 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #2 in Tenor Saxophone Reeds | | Body Material | Wood | | Color Name | 3-Pack | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (3,133) | | Date First Available | October 17, 2008 | | Instrument Key | C Major | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.704 ounces | | Item model number | RKA0325 | | Material Type | Wood | | Proficiency Level | Beginner | | Size | 3-Pack | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Color:** 3-Pack - **Instrument Key:** C Major - **Material:** Wood - **Style:** Strength 2.5 ## Images ![Rico Organic Tenor Saxophone Reeds, Strength 2.5, Pack of 3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Lndq94q2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***R on December 22, 2023* I've returned to Rico reeds after decades.

Ready to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice reed. *by S***A on June 19, 2025* Quality is perfect. I only have broken one and I’ve had these for about a month and practice every day. They function well, but they have a little bit of squeak. The ease of play is good and I would recommend getting these reeds. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Rico Tenor Saxophone Reeds, Strength 2.5, Pack of 3 - D'Addario Rico Saxophone Reeds - Reeds for Alto Saxophone - Thinner Vamp Cut for Ease of Play, Traditional Blank for Clear Sound, Unfiled for Powerful Tone - 2.5 Strength - Made in the USA - 10-Pack - D’Addario Woodwinds - Rico Bb Clarinet Reeds - Reeds for Bb Clarinet - Crafted for Beginners, Students, Educators - Strength 2.5, 10-pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12876613-rico-organic-tenor-saxophone-reeds-strength-2-5-pack-3](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/12876613-rico-organic-tenor-saxophone-reeds-strength-2-5-pack-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-09*
