Rico Royal reeds in strength 3.0 combine the features of the traditional Rico cut with a stronger spine and a "French file," allowing for more resonance and harmonics in the sound.
Rico Royal reeds have a more traditional French filed cut for increased response, especially in the low register, adding clarity to the tone and making soft attacks easier. Available for the full range of saxophone and clarinet voices and conveniently packaged in boxes of ten reeds.
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.

I’ve played saxophone for a long time and this is my first year playing the bari and these reeds are it! It’s very easy to get a good quality sound out and are much cheaper than Vandoren

The reeds met my expectations. They seem to be as good as the other, more expensive reeds.

I purchased there for my high school kids. This is what they use in school and the price of these are reasonable.

After purchasing box after box of the Vandoren bari sax reeds (5 reeds in a box), we have discovered that these reeds (10 in a box for about the same price) are better for his (12 yr old bari sax player) needs. I had purchased a box of them a while back hoping (since they were cheaper) that he would be able to use them and Voila! my wish came true. Now I just hope he can stick to them! Hate buying a box with only 5 for $35+

Unlike the Clarinet reed that requires a little more finesse. My son says there is not that drastic of a difference with the Baritone Sax.. I am figuring that since it is a larger reed, it a bit more forgiving. So for all of you parents out there that are probably spending a mint, Like I am, to keep your son's Baritone working nicely. Here is one instance you can actually get away with a little more bang for your buck. Here is one instance where you can pick up something for less, and it does not diminish the instrument's ability to sound nice.Keep in mind that if your kid plays Jazz. There are reeds for Jazz playing. We have not played any with that, but I am sure we are going to. Jazz is next semester. Keep that ONE variable in mind, if it does exsist, to be sure you are ordering the right type of reed for your child.P.S. Saw the review for the guy who says they break faster. I talked to son about this aspect. He said, "Ricos are considered a beginers' reed. They are (maybe) a little bit softer." He said that they do not require quite as much "air" as a Vandoren and they will give more "sound" (he hates it when I say noise) with less air. You might want to consider stepping up a half on reed harness with a Rico reed. If you are using 3 reed, you might want to consider stepping up to a 3 and half to get more plays out of it. They both cost the same, just a step up in hardness for the reed. Only dissavantage is that Ricos might be a tad more brittle. Son says that his Rico reeds did not exactly split like a Vandoren. They Chipped, making them harder to play. Not good if you are having to do a performance. He said they could work for practice, but are trash if you are going to be performing. The chipping aspect of the reed prompted me to downgrade from a five star, to four.
