Rico Tenor Sax Reed #3.5 - PER REED

Maximum Core Stability and Projecting Power for Advanced Players

Rico by D'Addario Tenor Saxophone Reeds (Strength 3.5) are engineered for experienced woodwind players who require maximum structural resistance and tonal depth. Utilizing a traditional unfiled blank profile, these premium cane reeds offer a robust, focused sound coupled with the structural integrity needed to handle high-velocity airflow.

The Strength 3.5 resistance profile is specifically balanced for advanced high school musicians, collegiate players, and professional saxophonists. This heavy cut provides the essential counter-pressure needed to stabilize your pitch center, deliver a rich, resonant lower register, and confidently control altissimo notes without the risk of the reed collapsing under high air pressure.
