Subj: [DR-L] Re: Mineralization within cane tubules....
Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2004 00:05:21 -0400

Quoth Mark Charette:
"There are
a number of other factors that affect the stiffness of the reed - for
instance, if there is significant mineralization from your saliva
clogging
the tubules it'll go soft, since it's the presence of water within the
tubule cylinder that gives the reed its stiffness ...."
--------------------------------------------------------
If it is mineralization that prevents water or saliva from getting to
the tubules and swelling the cane to playing stiffness, then something
should be available to dissolve this mineralization and restore the flow
capacities of the tubules?
