They are about $30 a box or more for a box of 12. The number for Marks
Music is 1-800-330-6510. Remember that they are 20 years old though a
few weeks in 50-60% humidity at around 70 degrees might give them some
life back. Those Rico humidity bags might come in handy.

Morre strenghts were funny, most players on the old Kasper 13's used
2-1/4 strength. The 2-1/2 was a work out. The #3's are like boards.

Quite a legacy with that store. A friend from college, early 1970's,
worked there and remembers unloading hundreds of Buffet R-13s at a time
from semi trucks. They lined the hallways in the store, floor to
ceiling. Carl Marks II who made the store famous would go through the
horns and grade them on quality. When Marcellus or Wright called, he
knew exactly which horns to send up for them to try.

How expensive are Morre reeds? I currently play on vandorans 3 1/2s.
