The D'Addario Hemke Organic Baritone Saxophone Reed is a filed, professional-grade cane reed designed for baritone saxophone players drawn to a darker, more sophisticated sound. Developed in collaboration with the legacy of Frederick L. Hemke, these reeds combine a shorter vamp and a thinner tip with a French filed cut — a combination that favors both classical and jazz playing styles. This listing is for a 5-pack of Strength 2.0 reeds.
The Strength 2.0 cut features a thinner tip and shorter vamp for easy response, with a medium spine thickness that balances warmth and resistance. The filed design is especially well-suited to traditional, round-chambered mouthpieces. As part of D'Addario's Organic line, these reeds are crafted from 100% USDA Certified Organic cane — grown without pesticides or synthetic chemicals — and packaged in an eco-friendly paper reed holder in place of the traditional plastic housing.
