Rico Alto Sax Reed #2

Effortless Response and Easy Playability for Beginners

Give developing musicians the ideal start with Rico Alto Saxophone Reeds (Strength 2.0), available at MusicMasters. Universally acclaimed by band directors and music educators, these reeds are engineered with a thinner blank and profile. This design allows the cane to vibrate with minimal air pressure, making it remarkably easy for beginners to produce a clear, warm tone and master early embouchure fundamentals without fatigue.

Crafted by D'Addario Woodwinds using advanced, state-of-the-art digital machinery, each reed offers consistent strength and reliable performance right out of the packaging. To give your program or practice space maximum flexibility, these reeds are sold individually—making it easy to replace a chipped reed right before class. For school band programs, private studios, or families stocking up for the semester, they can also be ordered in larger, bulk quantities.
