About this exposition

Research Question: Which aspects and qualities of Arundo Donax help the manufacturers of oboe reeds to have the necessary information for choosing the preferable right raw material? Summary of Results: The will for further research stems from the need to extend the boundaries, so the artistic and musical expression is not confined to technical issues. The current research has aim to present significant qualities and aspects of the cane in order to contribute to the development of the oboe reed making. All the necessary information provided about the Arundo Donax L. species, the climate conditions that requested for healthy growth, and about the significant process of harvesting and drying the cane. Various stages of the material sorting suggested, in order the oboe reed manufacturer to preselect the suitable material, to reduce the time­ consuming way of reed making, and to expand the technical boundaries of the instrument. Sources from previous centuries, interviews, guides, articles from reputable journals, en light the ways and traditions that took place and provide valuable information about the aspects and qualities of the cane. Especially, emphasis given to the work of Theophrastus (Inquiry into Plants), where significant information described about the reed species and methods, as took place about two millennia ago. The research is based on three years of data collection and observations from Arundo Donax plantations in Greece. The location in the east Mediterranean fulfils all the requirements of natural, healthy and top quality growth of Arundo Donax cane. This research has the form of exposition, in order to combine text and media. The postgraduate level studies at the Royal Conservatoire of the Hague took place with the enormous support of Onassis Foundation.
