December 2016

Thank you for subscribing to the Barton Cane Newsletter! There have been many developments since our last newsletter. We relocated to Longmont, CO, built a new factory, got a puppy, added new products to our website and developed new processing equipment which is now in production!

Relocation: After two years of looking for the perfect property to build a new shop, this spring we began construction. It is in beautiful Longmont, Colorado which is close to Denver, Boulder and skiing! We just finished building the shop for Barton Cane where we have plenty of room for expansion.

New Processing: David has developed several new pieces of equipment which are now in production. Most notable is the new gouging process. You may have noticed that the gouge is more even and consistent. We also have a new finishing process which allows us to control the thickness with more accuracy. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback since the new equipment has been in production! 

Bulk Orders: Barton Cane offers lower prices for bulk orders of 250 pieces of GSP cane or more. Anyone is welcome to make a bulk order. If you are interested in making a bulk order, you may choose from the shapes that we offer on our website, or you may contact us about making your own custom style. We have the ability to make any gouge, shape and profile. We can also adjust the scoring, make wire placement cuts across the bark and adjust the tube length. Bulk Orders

Finished Reeds: Barton Cane only sells gouged, shaped and profiled bassoon cane. We do however have a number of talented reedmaking customers. We have created a new space on our website with links to fabulous reedmakers: http://www.bartoncane.com/reed-makers/ If you would like to be included on this page, please contact us.

New Products: We have added one new shape, Fox 3, which is available in all types of cane, and two new artists to our website: Eryn Oft and Javier Rodriguez. Soon we plan to add Medir cane to our selection which currently includes: Danzi, Donati, Glotin, Gonzalez and Rigotti.

IDRS: Come visit our booth at IDRS this summer in Appleton Wisconsin from June 20th-24th, 2017! We would love to see you!

Thank you! Thank you all so much for your ongoing support and feedback.  We really appreciate your input. We often add products and make adjustments to current products based on what we hear from our customers, so do not hesitate to contact us!
