Forestone Hinoki Baritone Saxophone Reed| Medium Hard

The Forestone Hinoki baritone sax reed is designed for players who want strong projection, quick response and a lively, expressive sound. Made from a proprietary blend of polypropylene resin and natural wood fibers inspired by Japanese Hinoki cypress, the Hinoki model produces a brighter, more projecting tone than the Black Bamboo series while still maintaining warmth and stability. Its responsive profile and freer-blowing feel make it especially popular for jazz, marching band, pep band and commercial playing where clarity and projection are essential.

Players appreciate the Hinoki series for its natural reed-like feel combined with the reliability and durability of synthetic construction. Unlike traditional cane reeds, Forestone Hinoki reeds resist humidity, dehydration and temperature changes, helping them perform consistently from rehearsal to performance. Compared to the darker, more concert-oriented Black Bamboo line, the Hinoki series is designed to offer more edge, projection and immediate response, making it ideal for players who need to cut through an ensemble or perform outdoors.
