Gouged cane for oboe - Rigotti - Tested Hardness

Rigotti is located in Cogolin, in the Var and produces, since the 1970's, a cane of a very high quality, much appreciated by oboists. The Rigotti cane is medium to hard and is very consistent cane in terms of quality and stability. We are happy to not be able to distribute Rigotti cane.

We use a digital hardness tester from Reeds 'n Stuff to measure the hardness of canes.
