The Rico name is in gold with raised lettering, before the Grand Concert
name. It says that the thick blank reeds are made with "elite raw materials"
hmmmmmmmmm, doesn't say that for the non-thick g.c. reeds.

What is interesting is that if you look at a catalog listing, it is NOT

that the last four are made by Rico. Perhaps Rico wants to be sure that
their
better lines are not stigmatized by the reputation of the cheapie end of the
line?? Is the actual manufacturer listed on the box?
