Gouged canes

The gouge thickness will have an impact on the resistance of the reed.

Our cane is gouged with a Reeds' N Stuff gouging machine.
The gouge thickness will have an impact on the resistance of the reed.
A thinner cane will be easier to scrape, you will lose neither in sound quality, nor in accuracy, but reeds will weaken more quickly.
A thicker cane will be longer to be scrapped but the lifetime of the reed will be more interesting.
To choose your thickness, do not neglect the effects of the climate: usually we advise to play a thinner reed in summer than in winter.
