 Re: Still using Gonzalez?

Actually, the speckling on the reed bark is due to fungus growth while the reeds are drying (first hand observation on a trip to the Var Region of France). If all of the leaf sheaf is not removed from the cane and the weather conditions are damp a fungus, which causes no harm or foul to the reed structure, grows on the decaying leaf matter and causes the speckling. It seems as if the Gonzalez reeds are "cleaned" more thoroughly and there are few with the speckling. The density of the cane itself can be expressed in 'vascular bundles per unit mass' . I do not know of anyone who has done a correlation of this density measurement with reed performance but anecdotatal observations abound. There are a number of factors - too complicated as yet to be unraveled - which affect reed performance.
