Perfect for Beginning and Intermediate Players
 
Rico by D'Addario clarinet reeds are the trusted choice of music educators and students worldwide.

Why Rico Reeds Stand Out
Traditional Blank Design: Each reed features Rico's time-tested traditional blank that provides excellent response across all playing dynamics. Whether you're practicing scales or performing in concert, these reeds respond instantly to your embouchure.
Unfiled Cut for Added Support: The unfiled cut design offers extra support for developing players, making it easier to produce a clear, focused tone while building proper technique and breath control.
Consistent Quality: Every reed in the box meets Rico's strict quality standards, ensuring reliable performance from the first note to the last. No more frustrating practice sessions with inconsistent reeds.
Ideal for Student Success
Beginner-Friendly Response: These reeds are engineered to respond easily, helping new players produce sound quickly and build confidence. The forgiving nature means less frustration and more musical progress.
Educator Approved: Music teachers across the country recommend Rico reeds for their students because they offer the perfect balance of playability and affordability.
Budget-Conscious Value: At just $2.40 per reed, Rico reeds provide exceptional quality without breaking the bank - perfect for schools, parents, and students who go through multiple reeds during the learning process.
