I love Rico Royals for the quality of sound and playability.
you always take a chance buying a box instead of picking them out individually at a store. Some are miscut and require some work.

My 10 year old son plays the sax and I no nothing about them. This is his first year and the music store stared him with #2.5's and did not tell us or suggest to us to change his reed often. But I did some reading and found that you should change them often and that they don't cost much at all so it is cheap enuff to do so. And I red that a #2 reed is better for a beginner. The lower the number, the easier, the higher the number, the more advanced you should be and the higher numbers sound better, but are harder to play.

My son does like the #2 reeds better than #2.5'5 and in his opinion and mine, he sounds much better and in return has more confidence in himself now and is advancing much fast. So in my opinion there are cheap enuff to change to a new reed regularly and the lower the number the easier for the beginner!! My son gives them to thumbs up. I will buy the 10 pack for now on being that if they are a better price per reed. I bought the 3 pack to make sure he did like them and that they helped him improve, they did!

Bought these for my son who wanted to try a thicker reed. He loves them!

Just what we ordered and on time delivery as well. Two thumbs way up!

Hey my name is trey miles, and i am a senior in high school. I have played on alot of different reed brands and types and i have found the rico royal reeds to be the best reeds because of response, tone, and to be good in various musical styles and playing situations.

Good deal on reeds, lowest price I found. Item just as described. Great transaction, would buy from this seller again.

Bought this brand and size on private teachers advice. These new ones are better than the same brand from the store. Maybe the store only sold the rejects. My daughter went from barely playing the low notes, to playing them all loudly.

Fantastic was paying for 1@ a time through sons school for way more money. Now he checks them out through me and its never a problem.

I bought these for my daughter's new alto sax after she came home and told me how much it would cost to purchase them through her band director. The reeds have worked great, and I spent less than I would have before.

I trust only Rico reeds for my clarinet and alto sax, and I was happy that I got it, well worth the money!
