Factory sealed box of 25 Vintage Rico 1 1/2 Soprano Saxophone Reeds.
These reeds were made / produced in the 1970s
We suggest rehydrating these reeds in water and play them in correctly, then you should get excellent results. These are true Vintage cane reeds.
Many players say older reeds are well seasoned and play much better.
Getting the Most Out of Your Reeds
- Be sure to thoroughly break-in and rotate your reeds. Do not play each reed for more than a few minutes in the first days of use.
- The acidity content in one’s saliva may negatively affect the life of a reed. Consider using water to soak your reeds instead.
- Dark spots in the bark of the reed do not indicate that a reed will play poorly.
