Don't give up!

Cane selection is very frustrating - each brand is different and there are differences within the brands. Cane is like wine.

As I posted previously - poor gouger adjustment and/or inferior cane is deadly.

I just sent back a batch of very poor, soft, grainy, and stringy cane!

Buy small quantities of cane from three or more suppliers. Ask for medium hard cane to begin with. You will learn to become a good judge of cane with time.

I myself keep a minimum of three different batches and prefer at least four.

I usually tie a reed from each batch - provides a variety of tonal characteristics. The cane also may react differently to seasonal changes.

Make sure you have the proper diameter cane to fit properly in the bed of the gouger - usually 10.5 - 11.
