Questions & Answers

What strength would be best for a beginner who is playing the bari sax? The option to start with a 2 would be great for me since I've been playing alto sax for 7 years. ?

You play alto at a stronger or weaker strength depending on what is going on. You should play bari at a strength that is lower than what you play on alto, in my experience. You play 2 if you want. There are five on alto and two on tenor. It is fine to play at 0, but not if you play at a higher level. You may need to adjust your bari strength accordingly if you have 5 on alto.

Selected User Reviews For Rico Baritone Sax Reeds, Strength 1.5, 3-pack

Reeds of the highest quality and lowest price

5/5

My favorite part about these reeds is how natural they are. Playing on Rico reeds has been a part of my life for about six years now. My experience is that these are not the most professional sounding reeds out there, but I find them to sound great. Furthermore, the price of the 2. is too good to be true! I like five strength because it is easy to play and I can use it easily. My typical playing strategy is to continuously play these reeds until they chip. All of my friends and family can benefit from these reeds.

Exactly what I needed to re-establish my confidence Having played the bari for about 50 years, I started playing it again

5/5

My goal is to work my way up to other bari reeds, but this was the right purchase for me to come back to playing. Having bought Rico reeds since the 1960s, I know how good they are. Still, they are a good product value.

From the point of view of an absolute beginner, this is good

4/5

A few months ago, I switched from flute to bari sax in my college ensemble. I previously played flute, and the fingering is similar to the bari sax. In addition to learning clarinet, I had some experience with reeds. Based on what I've seen and heard, these reeds are pretty good, sound great, are easy to play, and also relatively cheap. After a while of playing on it, it goes from flat as it should be to kind of wavy and makes things hard to play. I'm not sure if this is just what happens to reeds when they're really wet, but it happens after awhile. Usually I wipe it off and change reeds for a while, then place it flat on the stand to dry. Once it has flattened out, I wipe it off again. My input is just that of a beginner.

Rico is the way to go

5/5

You can just buy Rico Reeds and be done with it. end up spending more overall if you buy reeds that are of lesser quality and you will only be frustrated. It's not a coincidence they cost more than they used to.

The quality is excellent

5/5

I don't play saxophone, but I have a son who does. This is what I get for him, because he likes these reeds. It seems that they are what he's looking for.
