Rico tenor saxophone reeds in strength 3.5 are built for players with well-developed embouchures who want maximum tone and projection. The firmer reed delivers a big, powerful sound with excellent depth in the low register and stability in the upper range. The unfiled cut keeps the characteristic Rico brightness and responsiveness.

This is a strength for experienced players who prefer to work the reed and shape their sound with air support and embouchure control. It rewards solid fundamentals with a rich, full tenor tone that carries through any ensemble. The unfiled design and higher resistance also give you more dynamic range and tonal flexibility than lighter strengths.
