Do you mean that Olivieri has stopped using Arizona cane? How do the new
reeds compare to ones of lets say the past 5 to 7 years. I have been
having bad luck with them recently. (I buy a load of reads every year and
store them for aging) I have been using Olivieris since 1963. I wish I
could still get the UNTEMPERED reeds- they often turned into JEWELS.
