I have bamboo here growing, but I'm not sure if large enough old growth shoots are available.....last spring I said yes to some shady guys who showed up one day and asked to cut a few for "grannies garden" ....I oversaw them cause they did not even have proper tool to cut with!, andit became apparent real quick..they were farming some green stuff!!! they admitted,,LOL...I told them, ok, this is first and last time.....they took the "yard" not the "inch" they initially asked for, I had to say OK, think you've got enuf !!, when their truck bed was full....got a lil work outa them too..they worked inside the thicket and I was able to trim/top out tallest bamboo, which blocks valley view !HA..every year some local oriental folk come and get bamboo shoots, too...(to eat)...I buy the bamboo poles trimmed at local garden shop=$2.60 per nice size pole!! so the pot farmers got a true savings, here;-) LOVE the saxes,...will you share secret to making? or sometime I can purchase one? bassier the better.....
