Re: what tube canes do you guys use?

Karl and Julian: wild cane doesn't have the evenness and refinement of cane grown with a view to making reeds. The results it produces are less good. It would appear that cane used for reeds benefits from wind, as well as soil and sun of course. There's plenty of wind in the South of France: the Mistral. An old friend from the Duke Ellington orchestra claimed that the best cane in the world came from Cuba! Access to that went out with the arrival of Castro. The cane from Argentina also comes from a windy area outside of the town of Mendoza.
