Density machine!?!

Hi Everyone

I was wondering if any of the reed-makers on this site have any input regarding Density machines which tell you just how hard a particular piece of cane is. If so, what measurements do you find work best for Cor Anglais cane. I have loads of different types of Cor cane at home, both gouged and tubes. I found I was having little success a month ago and began wondering if one of these machines might save me grief in the short and long term, and help me more accurately decide on particular brands of cane to suit my needs. Any input would be gratefully received. I thought Oboedrew and CJWright, as reed making specialists, would surely have considered this issue and hopefully have an opinion that could influence my decision to buy such a piece of equipment or not.

Many thanks

James
