Dutch rush

Author: Hiroshi

In my youth I was told that dutch rush is necessary for reed fixing. During those days I went to Chinese drug shop and then to musical shops. At present it became difficult to get it in both places in Japan.

Now I found this URL.
http://www.tcnj.edu/~mckinney/
equisetum_hymale.htm

The author of this URL, a professor of clarinet, says that we should get it from plant shop and dry it up for some period by ourselves and that the dutch rush purchased from musicall shops for 4.5$ is worthless.

Is this a usual way to get proper dutch rush among professionals?

BTW: This is a URL where a professor of a musical instrument states the content of his course in such detail.
