I will fly to Singapore in this weekend and spend few days in there. Can someone suggest any good music shop in Singapore where I can find some clarinet accessories e.g. mouthpiece, ligature and etc.?
Thanks.

I cannot suggest one, I cannot find one there! You can forget getting reeds apart from Rico or Rico Royals or blue vandorens. Mpcs are cheap if you can find them, around $94SG dollars thats around $35 US. If you want boxes of reeds, you are going to have to barter for them. Go to a place called Lucky Plaza, near the Mandarin hotel, on Orchard Road, there is a yamaha music shop there, but they have international price, so don't expect great savings.
Let me know how you like your stay. & more importantly if you find a decent music shop!

Marriott Hotel, not Mandarin, so uncouth! It is 304 Orchard road, near Orchard road MRT station.

There are many shops selling decent reeds.
Mayb you didn't spend enough time looking around..
But don't expect to find rare ones..
Zonda, Vandoreen, Rico and Grand Concert reeds should be relatively easy to find.
1.Band World in the IMM building, in Jurong.
2.Yamaha Store in Plaza Singapura, at Dhoby Ghaut

Hello,
Band World is in IMM Building, Take the subway (or MRT as it is called here) to Jurong East and take the shuttle service nearby to IMM Building. As they may not open during office hours, do call them at 65612163 before you go
For the Yamaha Store, alight at Dhoby Ghaut MRT and proceed to Plaza Singapura, a shopping complex
Theres another store at Brash Basah Complex called Swee Lee, alight at City Hall MRT station and ask for directions.
