Rico Jazz Baritone Saxophone Reeds 2 - 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 2, making it a great fit for beginner to early-intermediate players who have built some foundational technique and are ready to move up from the softest reed options. 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 feedback and ease of response they need to continue building solid technique.

Strength 2 offers a soft feel with slightly more resistance than a 1.5, making it a natural next step for students who have outgrown their starter reed but aren't yet ready for the demands of a medium strength. It remains forgiving and easy-blowing while beginning to introduce the tonal body and resistance that players will encounter as they advance through the strength range.

Each 5-pack provides enough reeds to maintain a steady rotation through lessons and rehearsals, giving students and educators the supply they need without frequent reorders.

Ideal For

• Early-intermediate baritone saxophone students stepping up from a beginner strength reed
• Younger players who have developed foundational embouchure strength and are ready for slightly more resistance
• Music educators stocking reeds for developing band students on baritone saxophone
• Players who find a 1.5 too soft but aren't yet comfortable with a medium strength reed
• Parents and band directors seeking a reliable, easy-blowing 5-pack for progressing baritone students
