Product Information

Royal Hemke (formally just named Hemke) Organic tenor saxophone reeds deliver a dark, rich tone with flexibility across classical and jazz. The shorter vamp, thinner tip, and filed cut produce immediate response and sophisticated sound. USDA-certified organic throughout—from cultivation to manufacture—with no synthetic chemicals at any stage. 

D'Addario has been producing these reeds for over two decades, and the current Royal Hemke designation reflects their ongoing commitment to quality and brand evolution. The reeds are unchanged from the previous packaging, so rest assured if you are re-ordering they are exactly the same cut and finish - just in a new box. *Please Note: Some strengths may come through in the old packaging whilst D'Addario change over their branding. 

The distinctive profile supports quick articulation and flexibility across orchestral and jazz contexts. Available in strengths 2.0–4.0, they suit both developing and seasoned players seeking reliable performance. Individually sealed and packaged in paper holders, they eliminate plastic waste whilst preserving quality. Each reed is individually sealed to maintain consistency and responsiveness straight from the pack.

Royal Hemke Organic combines proven design with genuine sustainability. We recommend them as an excellent choice for tenor saxophonists seeking a rich, responsive reed with organic certification and the heritage of D'Addario behind every pack.

So far all the reeds have worked pretty much straight out of the box. They give a good, rich tone.
