Plasticover reeds feature the standard Rico cut with a plastic coating, which resists moisture and remains stable in varying weather conditions. This coating results in a bright, projecting tone and offers greater durability and lifespan. Plasticover is a favorite among jazz and pop musicians and also works well in outdoor settings. Rico's updated reed-making machinery and state-of-the-art process have made today's Plasticover reed more consistent than ever before.
