$9.00

Reedspiration GSP contrabassoon cane represents the evolution in the available options of contra cane. Finally, contra cane that is measured and selected for quality!

This special brand of cane is processed from tube by a professional bassoonist. Reedspiration pays special attention to measuring diameter, density, hardness, and flexibility of each piece of cane. The cane goes through a process of soaking and drying, resulting in solid stability. The maker also ensures that each cane is less than 8% humidity, resulting in consistent conditions across pieces.

The gouging system used results in uniform thickness along the length of each piece of cane. It is slightly eccentric. The maker uses a Rimpl shaping press machine. The cane is shaped with Rieger K1 shape or Reeds 'n Stuff COB1 shape, which are the same shape. These machines guarantee consistency of shape between pieces. Additionally, the maker polishes the gouged side of the cane with sandpaper, ensuring a completely smooth finish. Reedspiration's manual hand profile features a clean collar and a slightly finished tip with a parabola from back to front.

If you are looking for consistent and high quality contra cane, Reedspiration is a fantastic choice!
