Inspired by the most sought after mouthpieces of the 1920s, the new range of professional mouthpieces RICO Reserve benefits from the most advanced technologies used by D'Addario, to recreate the incomparable know-how present in these “vintage” mouthpieces. Machined - and not molded - from an ebonite bar for better homogeneity, each Reserve spout is manufactured to the strictest tolerances. But make no mistake: the true secret of a Reserve spout lies beyond its polished angles, its magnificent curves and its deposited materials. It is due to something much more remarkable ... its sound.
- Since the acquisition of Rico by D'Addario & Co., Rico has strengthened its leadership position in the market for reeds and accessories for wind instruments. With a cutting-edge research center located in California, it employs a team of agronomists, engineers and musicians to produce a range of excellent quality reeds, including the professional range of Reserve reeds for clarinets and saxophones. Rico reeds are intended for musicians of all levels, from beginners to experienced professionals. Many internationally renowned wind instrumentalists use 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.
- Precision machining from an ebonite bar allows ideal control at each stage of the design and ensures the best regularity from one nozzle to another. Choosing a spout has never been easier.
- Made from a specially selected mixture of ebonite delivering a remarkably centered sound that remains warm, homogeneous and pure in all nuances and all registers.
- Created by a team of craftsmen and engineers, in collaboration with renowned musicians.
- Available in four openings and two tuning forks offering a wide choice to clarinetists of all levels and all geographic origins.
- Made in the USA by D'Addario
