Rico Jazz Baritone Saxophone Reeds 1.5 - 5-Pack | Piano Gallery, Idaho Falls
Rico Jazz reeds are a trusted choice for baritone saxophone players who want a reed designed specifically for jazz playing — featuring a French file cut that produces a warm, dark tone with a focused, responsive feel. This 5-pack comes in strength 1.5, making it an ideal starting point for beginners and younger players who need a soft, easy-blowing reed to develop tone and technique on baritone saxophone. Available at Piano Gallery in Idaho Falls, the Rico Jazz line delivers consistent quality and tonal character at every strength level.
Product Overview
The Rico Jazz reed's French file cut removes material from the vamp area closer to the heel than a standard cut, resulting in a more flexible tip and a darker, richer tonal response — characteristics that have made this cut a staple among jazz and blues saxophonists for decades. The natural cane construction responds readily to breath support and articulation, giving developing players the immediate feedback and ease of response they need to build good habits early.
Strength 1.5 is among the softest options in the Rico Jazz baritone lineup, requiring minimal air pressure and embouchure resistance to produce a full, resonant tone. This makes it an excellent choice for beginners transitioning onto baritone saxophone, younger students with developing lung capacity, or players recovering from embouchure fatigue who need a temporary step down in resistance.
Each 5-pack provides enough reeds to keep a steady rotation through lessons, rehearsals, and early performances, giving students and educators alike the supply they need to keep playing without frequent reorders.
Ideal For
- Beginning baritone saxophone students who need a soft, easy-blowing reed to develop tone and technique

- Music educators stocking reeds for beginner band students learning baritone saxophone
- Players recovering from embouchure fatigue who need a lower-resistance reed for a short-term step down
- Parents and band directors seeking an affordable, reliable 5-pack of beginner baritone sax reeds
