Cane
Reeds- The Problems
Any
musician who plays a woodwind musical instrument involving the use of
a double reed will quickly realise that keeping the reed in optimum playing
condition is a serious problem.
Tradtional double reeds are unstable due mainly to the organic material
used in their construction, namely Spanish or Indian Cane. Almost any
organic material which is required to operate in a precise fashion under
extremely hostile conditions such as changing levels of humidity and temperature
will be inclined to perform in an erratic way. It's operating life is
also short.
