About DAddario Hemke Alto Sax Reeds
Overall Feedback:
79% positive
74% appreciated the durability, though 26% didn't
I have a strict reed hygiene and storage system, and as a result, my reeds last just as long as all my other reeds.
I have noticed that Hemke reeds do not last as long as Vandoren blue box ones.
69% liked the reed's flexibility
I have found that this reed has unmatched responsiveness at extreme registers and dynamics. It is easy to articulate softly on the low end and provides support at full blast on the top end.
72% appreciated the sensitivity
I found that I was looking for a reed that had a natural dark and pure sound without any fuzziness or resistance. Hemke provided that tone clarity without ever becoming too bright.
78% liked the compact storage case
As an intermediate saxophone player, I recommend sizing up on these reeds if your embouchure can handle it.
