In addition to my many cane options, I now offer  DONATI processed bassoon cane at prices that are not only affordable, but guaranteed to be the lowest you will find anywhere. Importing directly from FRANCE....DONATI has been supplying bassoonist the world over with outstanding cane for years & was Mr. Norman Herzberg's cane of choice for pretty much his entire career. You can visit their webpage by doing a Google search to find out more information about this company that has been in business in southern France for over 80 years.
There is no middleman or subtractor here....all work is done personally by me,  only using the finest tools & machinery available.
First, the DONATI tube cane is split. It is then cut to 120mm and pre-gouged on a Reeds'nStuff crank pre-gouger. Then the cane is gouged on the
Rolls Royce
of gougers, the Kunibert Michel.  These machines are almost impossible to find in this country & very expensive - but are amazing in their ability to produce smooth and consistent gouges.  Warped and damaged cane is discarded.
Gouge thickness is 125-130mm(+/-3).  However, 135mm, 125mm, & 120mm are also available upon request.
Next, the cane is sanded and polished using a multi-step process involving various abrasive sponges and papers.  The polishing of the soft side of the cane is critical in minimizing plaque and debris build up inside your reed, as well as sealing off the pores of the cane to prolong reed life. This step is optional so please let me know your preference when you order.
Then, the cane is shaped to your
REQUESTED SHAPE
: (see above)
Please attach a  note in the lower portion PayPal payment with your shape preference,  or contact me directly.
(If I do not hear from you with a shape preference, I will ship FOX #2)
Specs for all the FOX shapes listed above can be found on their web page.
This would be a great opportunity to try some marvelous cane with a shape perhaps you have never used.    I will be adding more shape options as my business expands, so please check back periodically.
