The baroque reeds are made from hand selected cane, using the best pieces of Rouché or Vic. Each piece is visually checked for colour, texture, wall thickness, surface sheen. It is then checked for gouge consistency with a micrometer and for hardness with a hardness gauge.

Measurements reflect the indentation in the cane shown on the hardness gauge. The greater the indentation the softer the cane.
Medium/Soft = .16mm-.18mm
Medium = .14mm-.15mm
Medium hard = .12mm-.13mm
Hard = .9mm-.11mm
