I rediscovered those reeds recently. Like another poster said, they seem to have made huge improvements in terms of quality control. Got one box, they all played fine and with a nice, neutral tone. Given the satisfaction, I thought to ''secure'' another box of 10 and, again, they all play fine. Incredible these days.... Highly recommended, I am not looking any further right now.

Rico Royal has taken a big step up in quality in the last year or two. You can now count on getting a box full of well cut reeds, making it much more likely to get a reed that works well with minimal adjustment. You can pay a lot more for a reed, but it won't be any more likely to be a keeper. Try a box.

There's a lot of reeds out there but you won't find one more widely used than this one. I often use them right out of the box and most play fine for rock to pop. I always use 2 1/2 with a wide tip opening metal MP. There's a big difference between plain Rico's and Rico royal. Working them using the normal methods always extends life and playability but you can't go wrong with these.
