Re: cane cracking

Wow, appreciate the detailed explanation. I agree that I should be more organised with scheduling a time to do the tying.

I do tie on the cane piece before cutting the fold, in fact I only do the tying as my teacher does the rest for me at this stage. I am not really ready to do the scraping bit, the tying is more than enough for me to cope with and I would like to spend more time playing music.

Just wonder how long the tied cane should be left to dry before the scraping. In my case, sometimes it is only after about 20 hours and sometimes a bit over a day that my teacher does the scraping, don't know if that is long enough.

When you say debark the fold both sides from 70mm up, I presume this is done before the fold is cut open which should be done after the drying, can you pls confirm ?

Can I ask where you purchase your Glotin GSF from ? I have noticed on a website, they sell narrow and regular shape Glotin GSF, how do I pick which shape to use ?

Thankyou very much !
