Rico Tenor Sax Reed #2 - PER REED

The Ultimate Choice for New and Beginning Tenor Saxophonists

Rico by D'Addario Tenor Saxophone Reeds (Strength 2.0) are the premier standard for educators and students across the globe. Engineered with a highly flexible profile and a traditional unfiled blank, these reeds are meticulously designed to deliver an incredibly easy, free-blowing response that allows beginning players to produce clear notes instantly.

The Strength 2.0 resistance level is precisely balanced for first-year players, young students, and double-reed woodwind doublers who need minimal resistance to form their initial embouchure. This lighter strength helps young saxophonists master low-register sound production, maintain clear articulation, and play comfortably through full band periods without experiencing premature mouth or lip fatigue.
