Tube cane diameter

Author: jcfasanar

I'm making my own blanks from tubes and making the reeds with Dilutis machine.

My blanks are 2.8 mm (thin blank style, VD blue box style) but im having problems to find good cane tubes to achieve good thickness on the walls (sides) of the blanks. I have tubes from:

Xilema. aprox diameter: 30 mm
Rigotti. aprox diameter: 25mm
Ghys. 25mm
Silvacane. 25mm

(the best results im having is with the wider diameter from xilemas)

My question is about this. Which are supposedly the "ideal" diameter for the cane tube to make good 2.8 blanks? or simply the best cane is the wider cane?
