For starters, Music and Arts (Northern VA and MD) carries them, although you
can expect to pay 20 or more for a box of v12's. Chuck Levin's might be
your best bet. They are located in Wheaton, MD. Pick up a phone book
and call around. There was a place where I used to get reeds at Foxes
Music Co. They have two locations: Vienna and Falls Church in Virginia.

Hope you enjoy the Marine Band. They are good musicians that deserve more
press and recognition.

George
