Gouged Bassoon Cane (10pcs)

Precision-gouged 120mm bassoon cane, ready to be shaped and profiled. Hardness tested to eliminate the ends of the cane hardness bell curve by removing the softest and hardest outliers of cane, thus increasing your yield of successful reeds. Sold in bundles of 10. What makes our cane different? Consistent gouging, hardness testing, and attention spent to proper splitting of the tube are areas where you will notice a difference in the consistency and quality of your finished reeds. While some cane suppliers may produce as much cane as possible, as quickly as possible, we actually eliminate between 20-30% of our pieces on average to provide you with the best statistical likelihood for successful finished reeds. This is the exact same cane that I'm using to make my own reeds to play principal bassoon in a full-time professional orchestra. What is hardness testing (and why does it matter?) Hardness testing is a procedure that uses a small piece of equipment to place an indentation in a pie
