Rico Organic Tenor Saxophone Reeds, 10-Pack — Strength 3.0

The Student Standard

Rico Organic in strength 3.0 is the reed generations of tenor players started on. It's the industry-standard student and entry-level reed for good reason — warm, responsive, and reliable, at a price that makes stocking up a full 10-pack easy. If your player needs a dependable box of reeds for lessons, band, and daily practice, this is the one.

Unfiled Cut for a Big, Bright Tenor Tone

Rico Organic uses the traditional unfiled cut, with a classic blank and profile. That design gives a quick, easy response and a big, bright tenor voice, so a developing player can produce a clear, confident sound while still building embouchure and breath support. That easy-blowing feel and that early win are exactly what keep newer students encouraged and coming back to practice.

Now USDA Certified Organic

The Rico line has been rebranded Rico Organic under D'Addario Organics, and it is now USDA Certified Organic. Each reed is cut from premium, organically grown cane and manufactured with D'Addario's consistency, so the next reed in the box plays much like the last — the same trusted, easy-playing reed you know, now in the bright orange Certified Organic box.

Choosing Your Strength

Reed strength is about resistance. A lower number is softer and easier to play — 2.0 is the easiest and a common starting point for beginners — while a higher number like 3.0 is firmer, with more resistance and projection for a developing player. Strength 3.0 is what you're getting here. Not sure which to grab? Stop in and we'll help you land in the right range.
