D'addario alto sax reed with easy response
The D'addario Rico Unfiled 2.5 alto sax reed is a popular choice if you want an alto sax reed that speaks easily. Its traditional unfiled cut and thinner profile give this Rico reed a quick response, which feels comfortable during lessons, practice at home, and first steps on alto saxophone.
The iconic orange packaging makes these D'addario Rico reeds easy to recognize. They were developed with beginners and music teachers in mind, while students and jazz players also value this alto saxophone reed for its playing ease and versatility.
Unfiled cut and 2.5 strength
The unfiled cut means the reed keeps a traditional unfiled design. Combined here with a thinner profile, that gives an easy response and a powerful sound, so your tone starts quickly without the reed feeling stiff.
