Hi Peter,

It looks like you got some good responses from others regarding your
inquiry about reed holders, but here is another option. The Reed Wallet
holds eight reeds and will fit into smaller cases. It holds reeds flat
with elastic bands and has a leatherette-type cover. You can find it
through the Muncy Winds catalogue, I'm not sure if International Musical
Suppliers and others carry it.

You mentioned the Discount Reed Co., could you pass on information about
them?

Regards,

Sharon
