| | Frederick L. Hemke Baritone Saxophone Reeds - Premium - Box Of Five
Frederick L. Hemke reeds are more consistent, and are generally a little higher in quality than standard reeds. These are the reeds we recommend for advanced players in most situations. As with all of our reeds, all boxed reeds are at least 10% off list price, and can not be returned.
Reeds are typically available in strengths of 1 through 5 (some brands label their reeds as Soft, Medium Soft, ... through Hard). In general, the lower the number, the easier it is to play most notes. The down side, is that the lower number reeds just don't sound as nice, and make it harder to hit high notes.
As a general rule, we recommend reeds with a strength of 2 (Soft) for people just getting started, and strength 2 1/2 (Medium Soft) for people who have played for a year (less time if they take lessons). The harder reeds should only be used after using the next softer size of reed for six months to a year, or at the recommendation of a private instructor or band director.
