Dear Jim,

I'm guessing that any music store that services public school music
teachers (with band instrument rentals etc.) will have a spray bottle
with disinfectant in it and a bottle of "refill" for sale. Our school
keeps such a bottle in our instrument storage room and we use it to
spray mouthpieces AND reeds. Sorry, I don't remember the brand but we
got ours at the local music store.

(I just checked Brasswind/Woodwind and they don't show anything like I'm
describing. . . sigh. . .. )

Good luck!
