4Great reeds with a caveat  Jun 02, 2009 By Fortuna1
I love Rico Royals for the quality of sound and playability.
you always take a chance buying a box instead of picking them out individually at a store. Some are miscut and require some work.

5Much better  Jan 13, 2011 By Todd Janese Jr.
My 10 year old son plays the sax and I no nothing about them. This is his first year and the music store stared him with #2.5's and did not tell us or suggest to us to change his reed often. But I did some reading and found that you should change them often and that they don't cost much at all so it is cheap enuff to do so. And I red that a #2 reed is better for a beginner. The lower the number, the easier, the higher the number, the more advanced you should be and the higher numbers sound better, but are harder to play.

My son does like the #2 reeds better than #2.5'5 and in his opinion and mine, he sounds much better and in return has more confidence in himself now and is advancing much fast. So in my opinion there are cheap enuff to change to a new reed regularly and the lower the number the easier for the beginner!! My son gives them to thumbs up. I will buy the 10 pack for now on being that if they are a better price per reed. I bought the 3 pack to make sure he did like them and that they helped him improve, they did!
