PRACTICE CANE

The demand for Practice Cane has resulted in the depletion of Practice Cane until further notice.

Rico- D'Addario cane is now only Rico cane. I am working with the remaining old 20 kilo bags of cane stored in the previous garage at 3311 Scadlock Lane many years ago. So this is really aged cane. NOTE: Old Rico cane is in extremely short supply and will not be replaced once gone . - TonyC

Catalog Cane:

Rico-D'Addario Cane (SEE ABOVE) .

Donati Silvacane:

This French cane has been in the catalog for many years and it is a dominant favorite for most of our customers. It is harvested from the Carqueiranne area of France.We have a long association with the Donati family and the medium hardness of their cane has maintaned its high quality and reliability for many years.

Argendonax:

Gonzalez Reeds has provided us with consistently resilient and responsive cane which has found a steady and appreciative customer base for many years. Argentine cane is usually lighter in color and comes with less waterrmarks than Rico or Donati. Its exteme brightness may be too much for some bassoonists to handle, but if this is what you want in your cane you will have it with Argendonax.

Love to have your feedback - TonyC

Partially Shaped and Profiled Cane:

After the gouge, all B1 items are partially shaped wide at the butt ends to fit indivdual shaping tools. After sanding, one shoulder of the blank is slotted to accomodate the diamond cutter and to avoid splitting out as it passes over the end of the profile. The slotting step on B1 cane is one of the most difficult jobs in blank preparation because it involves filing a slot no wider than 3/32nds of an inch across an area twice as wide as normally shaped cane before the blank can be profiled. Additional hand filing (see photo of Partially Shaped Cane on the catalog cane page) must be extended on both sides of the shoulder to prevent massive tearing during the profiling step. This step takes several minutes longer by hand than B profiled blanks. If it is done right the profile passes over the slot without tearing and once the blank is shaped the slot does not interfere with the first wire once the reed is eventually formed.

Thickness measurements in the profiled blank tend to vary slightly from order to order because we are working with proto-type machinery that was originally designed to be set at one thickness and left alone for awhile. Different approaches to scraping the lay have dictated varying differences in profile thickness.
