Rigotti Gold Classic alto saxophone reeds in 2.5 Strong sit at the firmer end of the 2.5 range, giving you more resistance and body than a standard 2.5. The filed cut maintains the warm, dark character of the Classic line while the added stiffness provides greater projection and depth, especially in the lower register.

The Strong sub-strength is a great choice for players who find regular 2.5 reeds a touch too easy but aren't quite ready for a full 3.0. It rewards solid embouchure control with a rich, focused tone that carries well in ensemble and solo settings. Made from hand-selected French cane, these reeds offer premium consistency at every strength level.
