Your cart is empty.Rigotti Gold Tenor Sax Reeds represent the finest in precision and playability. 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 among 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.

Setup: Yamaha YAS-62 Tenor sax/Sugal KWIII+s mouthpiecePreface: Results will vary, everyone has a different embouchure, mouthpiece setup, etc.I'm a loyal Fibracell user, been using them before they hit the market (through a hook-up). I recently bought a new Sugal mouthpiece, and I considered Rigotti since it was the recommended reed on Gary Sugal's website. I tried my trusted Fibracells when I received my mouthpiece, and didn't get a satisfactory sound I wanted. I opened up the new box of Rigottis and tried each one. To my surprise, out of 10 that were in the box, 7 reeds sounded great, and the other 3 were actually ok. With cane reeds, that typically doesn't happen. Usually, in a pack of 5 or 10 of other brands, only a couple will sound good, and the rest could be trashed. I happen to own several different mouthpieces, and I had the same result on the other mouthpieces. Usually, MP's are pretty finnicky with certain reed brands, and I didn't get any of that with these Rigottis. I'm still loyal to Fibracell, but I'm now a believer of Rigotti.

great reed. Cheaper than a Vandoren Java which I also really enjoy, but I think just as consistent or close to it.these are amongst my favorites now.
