D'addario Rico Plasticover 2 coated reed
If you want a reed that responds more consistently in changing conditions, the D'addario Rico Plasticover 2 is a strong choice. This Plasticover reed has a coating over the reed material. As a result, it is less sensitive to temperature and humidity changes than an uncoated reed.
That makes this strength 2 reed appealing for players who want a more stable reed in rooms where climate and humidity do not always stay the same. The coating also helps keep the reed usable for longer.
What you notice from a Plasticover reed
The coating on the D'addario Rico Plasticover 2 extends the lifespan of the reed. In practice, that means you can keep playing on the same reed longer before replacement is needed. At the same time, the finish helps reduce the effect of moisture and temperature, which is useful during lessons, rehearsals or regular playing.
With this D'addario reed, you choose a version aimed at durability and more even performance in changing conditions.
