Rico's Grand Concert reeds are their high end reeds. They are very high quality and very consistent. All in all, these reeds are as good as they get. All boxed reeds are at least 10% off list price and are not returnable.
Reeds are typically available in strengths of 1 through 5 (some brands label their reeds as Soft, Medium Soft, ... through Hard) In general, the lower the number, the easier it is to play most notes. The down side, is that the lower number reeds just don't sound as nice, and make it harder to hit high notes.
As a general rule, we recommend reeds with a strength of 2 (Soft) for people just getting started, and strength 2 1/2 (Medium Soft) for people who have played for a year (less time if they take lessons). The harder reeds should only be used after using the next softer size of reed for six months to a year, or at the recommendation of a private instructor or band director.
The most common type of clarinet is the B Flat soprano clarinet. This is the type of clarinet that almost all clarinet players start with - if you don't know what kind you have, this is most likely it. On any of our products, if it doesn't specify which type of clarinet, this is the one we mean. Other types of clarinets are the E Flat clarinet, the alto clarinet, and the bass clarinet. Any products for these instruments will specifically say what type of clarinet they are made for.
