Description

Royal by D’Addario Tenor Sax Reeds, strength 1.5, are a reliable choice for new and returning saxophonists who want an easy blowing setup that helps good habits form quickly. The 10 pack gives you enough reeds to rotate through practice and performance, so you can always pick a reed that feels right on the day. Strength 1.5 supports a relaxed embouchure and steady airflow, encouraging confident tone production from the first notes. Responsive across the full range of the tenor, these reeds help with clear articulation and stable pitch, making daily practice, school rehearsals and first gigs feel comfortable and consistent.

Made from natural cane and finished with a precise filed cut, Royal reeds are designed to vibrate freely, speak quickly and produce a warm, centred sound. Compared with basic student reeds, they offer noticeably better consistency from reed to reed, which means less trial and error and more time playing. The refined tip and profile promote smooth response at soft dynamics while retaining enough body for projection when you push a little harder. Players and teachers appreciate the reliable strength grading, steady intonation and clean attack that make these reeds feel a touch more polished than typical starter options.

Perfect for UK tuition, this strength is widely recommended for beginners and early grade learners following lessons in schools, music hubs or privately. The approachable resistance supports long tones, scale work and ensemble parts, and the generous 10 pack delivers strong value for term time rotation and quick replacements before concerts or exams. Keeping several reeds in play encourages good care routines and extends lifespan, while the predictable feel makes mid lesson swaps straightforward. Whether you are gearing up for your first grade exam, joining a school jazz group or simply building stamina at home, this pack keeps progress on track.

Features

Easy 1.5 strength

The 1.5 strength offers an easy blowing feel that supports a relaxed embouchure and steady airflow, ideal for beginners and players returning to the tenor sax. It helps you produce a clear tone early on and makes moving between notes and registers feel more secure as confidence grows.

Filed cut for fast response

A filed cut encourages the reed to vibrate quickly, giving crisp articulation and an even response from low notes up through the upper register. This makes exercises, scales and first ensemble parts feel more controllable, with less effort required to start each note cleanly.

Consistent performance

Royal reeds are shaped and finished for dependable strength and playability from reed to reed. That consistency saves time during setup, reduces the need for adjustments and gives you a familiar feel every time you open a new reed from the box.

Value 10 pack

The 10 pack provides plenty of reeds for daily rotation, spares for lessons and rehearsals, and quick replacements before concerts or exams. Rotating reeds helps them last longer and improves day to day reliability, offering strong value for students and schools.

Natural cane tone

Crafted from quality natural cane, these reeds deliver a warm, centred sound with enough flexibility for expressive playing. The balanced profile supports gentle practice dynamics while retaining the body and projection needed for ensemble work.
