Select Jazz reeds in strength 2S feature a thicker spine, combined with a thicker blank and traditional tip, to provide a balanced and round sound with greater projection. D’addario changed the name from Rico due to a change in the factory. These are now machine made, and tested to ensure better quality reeds in each package. The higher standards result in more quality reeds in each package, and a happier customer. 

The Rico Select Jazz cut features a strong, well-defined heart, and longer vamp, yielding unprecedented projection and a clear, fat tone. Available with or without a French file. Offered in 1/3rd strengths, allowing the player to fine-tune their exact strength preference.

Since the acquisition of Rico by D'Addario & Co., Rico has strengthened its position as the global leader in woodwind reeds and accessories. Rico's state-of-the-art reed research center in Southern California employs a collaboration of agronomists, scientists, and musicians to produce top-quality reeds, including Rico Reserve premium reeds for clarinet and saxophone. Rico reeds are designed to benefit all levels of musicians, from the beginner to the seasoned professional. Many of the world's finest woodwind players perform with Rico reeds, such as Mark Nuccio, Jerry Bergonzi, Chris Potter, Benny Golson, Ernie Watts, Bob Sheppard, Henri Bok, Richie Hawley, Eric Alexander, and many more.
