The new Rico Reserve Classic clarinet reeds designed by Mark Nuccio of the New York Philharmonic are the best cane reed I’ve ever played. The cane itself is as fine a quality as I’ve ever seen and Mark’s design is responsive, warm and ringing in sound with superb articulation. I gave all my other reeds away….what more can I say? I mentioned them to the divine Erika Block a few days ago…and she was already on them!

Even more exciting…there is a Bass Clarinet version and I’m awaiting samples to test.

….and….my samples of the new Legere Alto Sax Signature reeds arrived two days ago. They are as magic as the Tenor reeds and I have 42 more of them on the way!
