Karen,

Walter Grabner makes fantastic mouthpieces (I play on one, and love it)
for reasonable prices. You can read more about his work with
mouthpieces here:

As for reeds, I've found the best response, etc. as well as the most
usability, among the reeds I've gotten from Zonda and reeds made by
Davie cane:

Stan Geidel reviews the Davie cane reeds here, an excellent read in the
Online Clarinet Resource:

(I believe the e-mail address for Mr. Geidel would now be
sgeidel@-----.org, however!)

And THIS is a new discovery for ME: Argendonax has a forum!
