 Re: old oboe reed supplies - usable?

I have some very old cane - some of it going back to the 1950s, and love it - For myself I use it almost exclusively as long as the supply lasts. I have to gouge it on an electric gouging machine I have though as the lengths have been precut 2 mm shorter - - so I tie these canes on at 73 mm on a 47 mm staple. The do require a very good initial soaking until you tie them on though or they will split somewhat easier....but the cane is reliable and stable and I love it. Good equipment is essential though - the more variables you can eliminate, the more consistent your reeds are going to be.
