Rigotti Gold Classic alto saxophone reeds are the filed-cut option in Rigotti's premium Gold line. The filed design and thicker profile produce a warm, dark, centered tone that classical and traditional jazz players gravitate toward. Strength 2 Strong sits on the firmer side of the light range, offering a touch more resistance than a standard 2 while staying comfortable for most players.

Rigotti sources their cane from the Var region of southern France, one of the world's finest growing areas. The Gold Classic line uses a three-tier strength system (Light, Medium, Strong) within each half-strength, giving you more precision in finding your ideal resistance. If you like Vandoren blue box or Hemke reeds, the Gold Classic is well worth exploring.
