Student Shaped Oboe Cane
For a person just learning to make reeds, the number of variations in available cane is bewildering and intimidating. Having one clearly marked by its label as a place to begin is extremely helpful, and leads one to actually get started instead of putting off this project for lack of a clue as to where to start. (As to the quality of the cane itself, I cannot say. In this field I am, after all, a beginner.)
