Re: So it has to be the cane right?

The Steuer reeds are made by Marc Charpentier, who once made reeds for Vandorens. Refer to the website:

https://steuerwoodwindreeds.com/clarinet/

As mentioned by someone else, Bob Bernardo, the US distributor of the Steuer reeds, can probably tell you exactly what makes the Vandoren reeds pale in comparison to the Steuer reeds. My own experience is that the Steuer Exclusive reeds share the most similarities (in appearance and with playing) with the V12 reeds. However, my experienced eyes and fingers tell me that the tip of Steuer reeds are thicker than the Vandorens. The reed is also thicker overall. But I cannot make out other differences.

I think someone once said somewhere on this board that all Steuer come from the Var Region of France, but not all Vandoren reeds come from there. Forgot who said it, but I remember someone mentioning that Vandoren gets some of its cane from Argentina.
