D'Addario's Royal Family is Now 100% Certified Organic.
The Royal line, including Royal, La Voz, Mitchell Lurie, and Hemke reeds, is now part of D'Addario Organics. That means no chemicals, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers at any point in the process, from cultivating cane to crafting the reeds.
