The D'Addario RLA1020 Rico Baritone Saxophone Reeds in 2.0 strength provide the perfect introduction to baritone saxophone playing, featuring traditional blank construction and thinner profile design that delivers comfortable, reliable performance for beginning players and those who prefer lighter resistance. These soft reeds are meticulously crafted using D'Addario's proprietary manufacturing process with laser-like precision cutting and sanding, resulting in highly responsive reeds that give developing players the manageable resistance needed for proper embouchure formation and breath support development. Perfect for middle school students, beginning adult learners, and players returning to baritone saxophone after extended breaks.
Product Overview
Rico reeds have established themselves as the trusted foundation for beginning baritone saxophone players, providing the consistency and approachable resistance characteristics essential for successful musical development. The 2.0 strength represents the lightest commonly used reed strength, making it ideal for students who are developing their embouchure, breath support, and fundamental playing techniques without the physical demands of harder reeds.
The traditional blank and thinner profile design offers exceptional comfort and ease of response, allowing beginning players to focus on proper technique development rather than struggling with overly resistant equipment. This strength is particularly beneficial for younger students whose embouchure muscles are still developing, as well as adult beginners who are learning proper breath support and lip positioning for the first time.
D'Addario's proprietary manufacturing process ensures each reed in the 10-pack maintains consistent quality and performance characteristics, eliminating the frustrating variability that can hinder student progress. The laser-like precision cutting and sanding delivers reliable performance reed after reed, giving students and educators the confidence that comes with predictable, dependable equipment during the crucial early stages of musical development.
