Cultivated in the north of the Camargue and very close to Avignon, the Alliaud house has a know-how transmitted for several generations as for the cultivation of the cane. Cultivated densely, the Alliaud cane is of medium to hard hardness and has a beautiful golden tint.

This cane is sought after and widely used by oboists around the world for its quality.

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

Soft 17-20
Medium 13-16
Hard 9-12
Very hard 7-8
Extremely hard 5-6
