Rico by D'Addario has been one of the most widely trusted reed names in band programs for decades, and the RCA1035 is the one teachers keep recommending. This is the standard Rico Bb Clarinet Reed — Strength 3.5 in a 10-pack — built around a traditional blank and thinner profile that makes it genuinely easier to get a sound out of the horn from day one.
The unfiled cut leaves the bark intact from the heart to the tip, which gives the reed more support and a slightly darker, focused character compared to filed cuts. Strength 3.5 sits on the firmer side of the Rico lineup, suiting players with a more developed embouchure or those who prefer a reed with a bit more resistance. D'Addario produces these using their own proprietary manufacturing machinery — precision cutting, sanding, and inspection at every step — so you get solid consistency from one reed to the next within the box.
