Mel,
In all parts of the U.S.A. they're about $52.00 + shipping.
You can get the mouthpieces on approval from all the major
mailorder houses (check
http://sneezy.mika.com/clarinet/Resources/Retail.html). The
prices from mail order houses are significantly lower than
your corner store. I order most of the high-priced items from
the mail order houses (the shipping on small items is about
$5.00; buying a box or two of reeds at the mailorder prices
saves me enough to cover shipping)

Time to get good at mail order!
