 Good starter reeds Jan 05, 2012
By E. Sikorski
As a middle school band director, I have always found Ricos to be acceptable beginner reeds for students in their first year or two playing. The 2.5 is the first reed I give to students. As mentioned by another reviewer, I also will never hand out a 2 reed. They are too soft and are quickly outgrown by students. The reeds are fairly consistent, and the lower price means that breaking a reed is not too much of an expense for whomever is footing the bill for reeds (teacher, student, school, parent...). The provided plastic cases do a good job protecting the reed, as long as they are not pushed in too far. I usually move students to Rico Royal or Vandoran after their first full year or two. Amazon does have excellent prices on reeds - definitely recommend buying here!

This is the strength that my middle school child's band teacher requested. Everything arrived as expected, when expected. Best value!

Great reed for middle school students Oct 15, 2010
By David Carver
"daveca5150"
I am a middle school band director and I buy these reeds for my students. They are consistent, easy to break in, and best of all, they sound great. I don't mess with 2 reeds even for my beginners because they tend to play very flat and airy. The 2.5s are perfect for 6th grade beginners, though I move them to 3s once they get over the break around December. A box of 10 should last them 2-3 months, more if they rotate them and break them in properly. As a brass player who only dables in woodwind instruments to demonstrate tone for my students, I buy mitchelle lurie 3s and I get a much deeper, resonant sound from them. The trade-off is that they are more expensive, require a bit more mouth strength, and you may have 3-4 reeds in a box that will not play well at all. The worst part is that beginners can rarely identify a bad reed and could think it's their instrument or that they are doing something wrong. Ricos are consistent and I rarely find a bad reed even in a box of 10.
Good luck.
Great Buy and Product Oct 27, 2012
By Danielle Seybold
This is the best buy on reeds. If you have family that play, buy them here. The product is the same as you buy in local stores and the shipping is super fast. Recommend to everyone :)
