I was sorry to see Hemke Premium reeds go off the market. I've hoarded a few, because they work well for me on alto and tenor saxophone, though less well on a Selmer alto clarinet.

Had to laugh when I read that, Ken. Yup. Interesting, innovative designs don't always work. Of all the "new old stock" reeds I've tried out after finding them in original packaging in cases with used clarinets, the Vibrators were the worst. Anybody know how long Vibrators remained on the market?
