The Frederick L. Hemke reeds have built a loyal following among saxophone players for good reason. Filed with a thinner tip and shorter vamp, they respond quickly and produce a warm, dark tone that sits well in classical and traditional jazz settings alike. Strength 4.0 adds a medium spine thickness that balances easy response with solid resistance — a combination that suits players who need a bit more firmness without sacrificing control.
These reeds are made by D'Addario (part of the Rico family) using a state-of-the-art manufacturing process that emphasizes consistency. Well-suited to traditional, round-chambered mouthpieces, the Hemke design has a long track record with advancing students and experienced players who prefer a darker tonal character. Each box contains 5 reeds for alto saxophone.
