Rico Tenor Sax #3 - PER REED

The Global Standard for Student and Developing Saxophonists

Rico by D'Addario Tenor Saxophone Reeds (Strength 3.0) are the most trusted and widely used woodwind reeds in music education. Crafted with a traditional blank and profile, these unfiled premium cane reeds are specifically engineered for maximum ease of play, lightning-fast response, and excellent structural consistency from reed to reed.

The Strength 3 resistance profile is the ideal step up for intermediate students, advancing middle/high school band members, and jazz ensemble players who have outgrown thinner starter reeds. This added density provides woodwind players with the enhanced support needed to stabilize pitch center, project full low notes, and confidently explore the upper altissimo register of the B-flat Tenor Saxophone.
