The best reeds for Saxophone and clarinet
​
In addition to the conventional forces 1.5; 2.0; 2.5; 3.0; 3.5 and 4.0, the Rigotti reeds are also available in the sub-measures L (light), M (medium) and S (Strong), which provides greater precision as well as great savings.

For example, if you prefer a 2.5 reed a little heavy, you have options 2.5M or 2.5S. If you prefer a little lighter, you can use the 2.5L.

This precision on the one hand, combined with quality control on the other, allows 100% of the reeds of a box to be used.

                    Rigotti Wild - Wild Reeds
Wild picks are cut from wild cane using ancient traditional methods . For this reason, the colour is slightly darker than ordinary reeds.
A thicker tip ensures greater longevity and durability.
With a thinner bezel, the wild reed produces a brighter and more profound and intense sound, especially for modern styles jazz music .
Rich in harmonic tones, the wild reed is the perfect choice for orchestral jazz musicians and soloists.
The force and intensity is equivalent to the Rigotti Gold Jazz Reed.  Wild reed is available only for alto and tenor sax in middle force only.

Hand picked and precisely cut, these reeds are consistent, focused and durable. Box of 10. The Best Cane Ets Rigotti owes part of their reputation to their materials.

The canes of the Var, and Cogolin regions of France are  the best in the world. Grown alongside rivers and streams, in an large area that is maintained all year round. Cutting Rigotti Gold reeds are cut during a winter afternoon over four months from December to March.

When the cane has reached maturity (after two years when it measures seven to eight meters with a diameter of 26cm to 32cm), it is cut left in the open where it will be worked on. The work on the reeds is split into stages: we use a 'plumes' to dispose of all the excess and 'feathers', we only keep the 2 or 3 meters from the base (the rest is either burned or used as bamboo).

Then the tubes are cut (from the base to the top), and the knots are thrown to obtain batons suited to music. This is where the true work starts, each tube is calibrated to a particular instrument.

The double reeds are for the oboe and bassoon, which must be wet to be bent and attached.
