Well, I really did it now! About five years ago I bought a Reed Dual (a reed
making machine that copies your favorite reed profile the same way a key
copier works) and after about a year of frustration, I sold it. Well, the
person I sold it to reached his point of frustration and _he_ wanted to sell
it. You know what I did? I bought it back. And just when Zonda reeds were
going to be the final answer to everybody's life problems!

Well, I'm stuck now, so here's my question. Does anyone know of a supplier
for good tube cane? I would particularly appreciate any advice on direct
purchase from France or some other reliable supplier if necessary.
