From the Manufacturer

Rico Royal reeds in strength 4.0 combine the features of the traditional Rico cut with a stronger spine and a "French file," allowing for more resonance and harmonics in the sound.

Rico Royal reeds have a more traditional French filed cut for increased response, especially in the low register, adding clarity to the tone and making soft attacks easier. Available for the full range of saxophone and clarinet voices and conveniently packaged in boxes of ten reeds.

My son plays tenor in the high school band. He likes this brand and size of reeds. Purchasing them off of Amazon saves us money. If we go to the local music store, we pay quite a bit more so we are very pleased to order them here. Thanks.

I use this #1 reed with an Otto Link mouthpiece. I get a great tone and can reach low notes very easily. If you want to put air through your horn with comparitve ease try this product. I would note that when used with a traditional plastic mouthpiece the result may not be as good as with the particular metal one that I use. If you are a tone freak give a number one reed a shot.
