Rico Alto Saxophone Reeds – 2.0 (10-Pack)

Rico alto saxophone reeds in strength 2.0 are the classic choice for beginning and young players. The unfiled cut and thin blank vibrate easily, producing a bright, clear tone with minimal effort. These are the reeds most band directors recommend for first-year students because they let beginners focus on learning rather than fighting their equipment.

The orange box is one of the most recognized packages in music education, and for good reason. Rico reeds are consistent, affordable, and available everywhere. Strength 2.0 is gentle on developing embouchures while still producing a sound that’s full enough to keep new players motivated and engaged with their instrument.
