Justin!!

It weighs 7 pounds. I see the reason for confusion, I edited the post with a space between the number.

It's definitely worth checking out, might be a great investment for a clarinet reed room at MSU.

Backun is going to be the North American Distributor, but did have mine shipped from Germany because I was anxious to get it asap.

I've been using Glotin tube cane. The seem to have gone out of business and I haven't found it for sale anywhere in a while. I've had success with RDG and Ghys cane as well. I just made a reed with an Oliveri blank yesterday and was intrigued...I may try more of those.

For me good cane has been a critical factor, I've probably tried about 10 different brands and I continue to try new stuff as I find it. I've been amazed at the extreme differences between them all...they each have a personality. It's all about finding the perfect marriage of vamp shape and cane type.

I think Vandoren got it right with the V12 vamp shape, but their cane is just bad. One problem is, they get their cane from three different sources and use all 3 types to make all of their reeds...no wonder most people get only three they like out of a box.

Certain cane types work better at different blank thicknesses as well. For me RDG is terrible as a thick blank(think rue 56) but improves greatly as a thinner blank(think blue box). It's all about trial and error and find what works best for you.

It's been great to get away from the one size fits all mentality of commercial reeds. It's definitely a journey, finding what works best but having a profiler that can deliver a consistent cut eliminates so much headache.

Take care!

-Joe
