Rico Plasticover 2.5 Strength Reeds for Bb Clarinet (Pack of 5)

very happy with these reeds. They play straight away, without having to 'relax' the reed and play it in. Softer than expected as well. I'll be going up a strength next time.

I have used plasticover reeds for over 30 years since my lip used to react to the ordinary cane reeds. The latest plasticover reeds are more consistent that previous versions and whereas you might get 2 decent reeds in a box I find that they are all good.

Great helps to stop reeds from getting too wet with use

as a new clarinet player i found these reeds exelent value

I'm a complete beginner at clarinet, however, I was recommended these by an expert clarinetist. You can put them on and start playing straight away, there's no need to "break" in to it. I will be buying these again, especially considering how clumsy I am with them and I'm always breaking and damaging my reeds :P Also, they produce a lovely sound, coupled with the Vandooran B45 mouth piece, it's really quite magical!

More expensive than traditional reeds, but last longer. Also more resilient to moisture, and gentler on the lips. Produce a different, brighter tone than a traditional reed, so probably personal preference.

Bästa röret. Behöver inte blöta röret så mycket. Lätt att få igång.

Mejor las cañas de toda la vida, no las volvería a comprar gran decepción

Anches conformes à mes attentes. Excellentes pour jouer en extérieur.

These reeds play well, and I enjoy that they don't have the bad taste of wood reeds.

A great find for beginning players. My middle-school daughter tried it at home first, loved it, and took one to school to ask her band teacher if she could use it in her school instrument - and he's happy with it too. We all seem to find that she achieves a much more uniform tone with this, and in a high humidity region, that's a definite plus! As an added bonus, it seems to have a longer overall lifespan too than an untreated reed. The only complaint was that "they taste funny" on the first use.
