## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these Beginner reeds**
A: These are probably the most common beginner reeds yes. The 1.5 number denotes the hardness of the reed. 1.5 is at the lower end of the scale (softer), which are easier for beginners to use.

**Q: Hi. Strange as it may seem. Does anybody know if this is good for making the sound of the Sweep puppet from Sooty?**
A: No. you would need a double reed (oboe, cor anglais or bassoon) to make a squeaking noise

**Q: Do these make a noise on their own or do I need a mouthpiece too? I don’t have a saxophone, I just want to make the voice of sweep for my children!**
A: Saxophone and clarinets have a single Reed. They do not make a noise on their own. Suggest you buy a mouth-organ or a gazoo. Comb and tissue paper works as well.

**Q: Do these fit an alto alphasax as well?**
A: I was curious so I rang Alpha Sax and it is the same size as an alto but with fewer side keys and complexity so easier to play for kids or beginners. Yes it take standard size reeds.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Always happy with Rico
*by T***I on 9 March 2023*

I have bought this brand of Reed for the last 20 odd years. The price is good and the reeds last a while before wearing out or getting too grubby. I’ve always found these soft and easy to use. They give a nice consistent sound and I don’t find them too buzzy. Now I’m a Mum with 3 children, I don’t get much time to play and suffering with asthma I don’t have the puff like I used to. These still allow me to play without working too hard. They are great for beginner players. The only downside I’ve found is they are so easily chipped from the smallest of bumps. But other than that they’re a great quality Reed that can last a while at a great price.
