I have come across a bunch of old unused reeds, still with price tags on, marked "Oscil-cane" France. Have them for tenor and baritone.

The reeds have a hole drilled just below the heart. They are clearly sold drilled from the factory. I have read about the drilling process and that some thinks it opens up the reed, I haven't tried it myself though.

Does anyone have more information about the "Oscil-cane" reeds?
