... yes, i've found that some batches of cane are more troublesome to tie than others

methinks bulk storage of multiple bundles of shaped pieces piled carelessly on top of each other, especially at the un-informed general commercial retail end of the line (oboe specialists know better) ... this may be a likely cause for some distortion of the pieces, especially if they stay in a jumbled position for quite some time before somebody buys them

drying with some cane warping at the production end is probably also a cause -- i'm guessing that would happen when the cane isn't cut flush straight with the grain -- folks who make their own from tube cane can probably elaborate on that?

if you have several bundles, recommend you store them comfortably in a suitable small oblong tin (tin better than cardboard box) so they don't rattle around, lay each bundle on its side, folds all one direction, i line my tin with some paper towel at the bottom, and a little on top holds them secure, but padding mustn't be so thick that lid presses down hard on them when closed
