The Rigotti Alto Saxophone Reed Gold Classic Cut gives sax players more choices in how their instrument feels. This reed uses cane that’s cut to have three strength levels: Light, Medium, and Strong. The Strong strength feels harder than Medium, and Medium is harder than Light. Choosing a specific strength helps players find what feels best for them. The Gold Classic Cut doesn’t change the sound, but it does give more control. If a musician likes a harder feel, they can pick a box with only Strong reeds. All reeds in that box will match, so the player knows what to expect. This helps limit wasted reeds and lets the player focus on practice or a show.

Rigotti Reed Strengths Give Alto Sax Players Consistency

Band students and young musicians who want a reed that feels the same every time use this alto sax reed. If you get a box of Medium reeds, all the reeds will play with the same strength. You won’t find some too soft and others too stiff. This makes it easier to practice, play concerts, or audition. You spend less time swapping reeds and more time learning new songs. When reeds feel the same, your hands remember what to do. That means you can focus on your music and not worry about surprises during a performance.
