My issue is that I am not sure they are the Rico brand as the title indicates, if you look at the box under the word Royal, it shows another maker, not Rico. **Q: Are these a lot harder than the 2.5s or just a bit harder to play on?** A: I found them just a little harder than a 2.5 **Q: When purchasing reeds, do they come with reed holders or do you have to buy those individually?** A: The reeds that I purchased came in plastic reed holders but I didn't buy a whole box. I'm not sure about reed holders if a box is purchased. **Q: In the 10-pack, do the reeds come sealed individually within the box. Is each reed individually wrapped in cellophane (like they used to be)?** A: In this 10 pack, each reed comes in an individual plastic case. They are not wrapped in cellophane. ## Frequently Bought Together - D’Addario Woodwinds - Royal Bb Clarinet Reeds - B Flat Clarinet Reeds - Reeds for Clarinet - Clarinet Bb Reeds - Strong Spine - Filed Cut - Strength 2.5, 10-Pack - D'Addario Royal Alto Saxophone Reeds, Strength 2.5, Pack of 10 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1758340-daddario-royal-organic-bb-clarinet-reeds-strength-2-5-10](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1758340-daddario-royal-organic-bb-clarinet-reeds-strength-2-5-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
