Hand picked by me from most of the cane growers each year I buy cane from all available growers and hand pick the best cane for my reeds this is  the same cane I use to make  my own reeds.  and is ready for you too make your own reeds with out the time and expensive reed making equipment.
For your Reference.
Shape --  I use shaper tip’s buy RDG available  -N1 = extra narrow  -1 = narrow  1 standard  2 = wide  -2 = extra wide  (the lower the number the narrower the shape)  the narrower shape will help with high notes. The wider will help lower notes.
Diameter --- Will define the opening. ( this is the circumference of the cane ) The most common used is 10.50 . The choices start from 10.25 the smallest circumference and it will give you the biggest opening.  Too 11.00 the largest this will give you a smaller opening.     the  lower number = bigger opening  The bigger  opening you start with the (softer =  thinner)  you will need to make the reed.
The (harder = thicker ) the reed is the more stable it will be.
You will  want to work your  way to a harder  reed they will be more stable and last longer.  Keep in mind the tip  of the reed should remain the same  no matter the thickness adjustment is made from the heart to the tip  and in the windows.  Try to keep the heart as thick as you can and the tip as thin as the cane will allow.
So for most players shaper size #1 and Diameter 10.50 will  be the best choice.
From there you can customize reeds to your liking. So if you think you would like a reed that supports high notes better then you may choice a narrow shaper size.  Or if you want a bigger opening you may want to go with a smaller diameter cane.           I recommend getting a copy of Jay Light reed making  Book it has a great step by step on oboe reed making,  and will help explain what I am trying to explain. Any  Questions please feel  free  to email me   The cane is good quality hand picked from a mix of many makers and is medium to hard.  The thickness is .60 (+ or - .02) at center of the gouge    Gouged on a new  Innoledy Gouger  From good quality  tube cane
