If you play alto saxophone and need a reliable, consistent reed to keep up with daily practice or ensemble work, the Rico by D'Addario RJA0335 is a go-to choice. These are the classic "orange box" reeds that generations of saxophonists have reached for — straightforward, responsive, and easy on the wallet.
The Rico cut is unfiled and features a thinner profile and blank, which makes them quicker to respond with less effort. That design makes them especially well-suited for students who are still developing their embouchure, and it's why educators have stocked them in band rooms for decades. Strength 3.5 sits on the medium-hard side — a solid step up from 3.0 for players whose embouchure has matured and who are looking for a bit more resistance and body in their tone. D'Addario manufactures these on proprietary cutting and sanding machinery, which keeps reed-to-reed consistency noticeably higher than old-school hand-cut methods.
