Supérieure Cane Processing

Since 1960

OBOE, OBOE D’AMORE & ENGLISH HORN CANE

STAPLES, & REED BLANKS

 

Cane is directly imported and individually prepared in-house by professional Oboist Don Werdick. All cane processed is grown either on the ETS Rigotti or L. Pisoni cane fields located in France's southern Var region (Cogolin, Grimaud, Fréjus and Hyéres), which is well known for producing superior reed cane. It is aged a minimum of three years and is medium gold to golden brown in color, smooth texture with a density that is medium hard producing a rich and stable tone. This cane is for the professional oboist. Water used during in-house processing is reverse osmosis purified. Cane is hand gouged using RDG-USA and Reeds n Stuff-Germany gouging machines. Cane is hand shaped using a quality shaping machine manufactured by Reeds n Stuff with RDG shaper templates. Paid/verified orders shipped within seven days. 

 

Pricing as of 1/2012.  Note: if your oboe cane diameter preference is 10.00mm to 10.50mm (available at no extra charge), please advise in the comment section at  checkout or email to oboe@cpinternet.com.

REED BLANKS

Carefully selected hand gouged & shaped cane, tied on a staple. Bark is left on the cane with minimal scraping to the tip - only enough to allow the blades to be clipped open. With moderate skill, an oboist can finish the reed to meet their own unique performance preference.
