Dan,

Mozart clarinet reeds are imported and distributed by Phil Shapiro of
Davies Cane Company. They are made of the same Argentine cane as Zanda
reeds. The web page for Davies is:

I've had some good results with them. I am also making bassoon reeds
from the Argentinian cane (Gonzalez) and having very good results.
