Glotin cane is harvested in the Var region of France. I find this cane to be very dense with that coveted ‘milky’ finish that pale, ripe cane has. Glotin oboe tube cane pairs particularly well with Glotin staples.

Gonzalez cane is the newest addition to our selection. This cane is grown at the largest cane farm in Argentina and is very popular among double reed players. This cane is very consistent with little shrinkage. It is soft-medium, and is very pleasant to scrape.

Lavoro cane is harvested in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. We are new to this cane, but have been very impressed so far with the results, though they are more varied with ripeness. Reeds made with this cane last a long time based on our results.

Medir cane is harvested in Northeastern Spain. This cane is a ‘hot’ item in the oboe world right now with many retailers regularly getting sold out. This cane is also new to us, and we are thrilled to be working with it. This is a softer cane that can help produce reeds quickly with its ease of scraping.

Pisoni cane is a harder cane that produces incredible, long-lasting reeds in our experience. Expect to have a few more days of rest than your usual amount as this cane is very hardy. While it is on the expensive side, it is extremely difficult to find in stock as of late. Get it while you can!

Rigotti cane is a long time staple of reed makers in all stages of reed making. It is harvested in the Var region of France and is a great place to start if you’re unsure.
