I'm an adult beginner (Book 2) Bb Clarinet player. My clarinet came with two 2.0 Rico reeds. One worked well but the other was hard to blow and hit high notes. I tried the Suewio 2.5 but still most in the box were hard to blow and I had difficulty crossing the break . I got the 3 pack of D'Addario 2.5 reeds-WHAT A POSSITIVE DIFFERENCE!! All three were good. I hope that in the future the 10 count box will be available in the 2.5...maybe by then I'll need a 3!

The reeds came undamaged and are apparently well cut. This brand is recommended by music teachers. Price point, quality of cuts and brand make this a good purchase.

These reeds give excellent tones. Harder to use than unfiled but for moderate and advanced players they are excellent reeds. Tone is full and not quite as bright as unfiled but great for classical and smoother types of jazz.

My daughter's band teacher recommended these reeds and they've worked great for her. I would suggest stocking up and buying a couple of packs at a time.

great durable reeds, except that I ordered five different sizes. I received all number #2s, (3 - 3packs and 2 - 10 packs). sad!

I did not expect that all three reeds were good because usually if you get a box of 10 reeds, half of them will be too soft or too hard or not evenly made. I think that quality control of Rico Royal Reeds exceeds the standards.
