For those who may not be aware Solar Music in NSW now stock Alexander's reeds while Leisure Coast in Woolongong stock Marca & Stuere reeds - and are apparently soon to have Gonzales also - finally were here in Australia have options! I think Rigotti & Gonzales can be found at Reeds And More. If any of the Aussies here care to augment this list that would be great. I used to source most of my reeds from the UK so to finally have local stockists is just fabulous.

Thanks for the info. But you're in Melbourne - why go to NSW when you already have a great selection at Ozwinds in Moorabbin and The Music Place in South Melbourne ? The Music Place were the first shop to import Gonzales reeds to Australia, about 20 years ago, btw.

Mike

thanks but Ozwinds? I've been driving by a couple of times each week and consider the OZwinds options exceedingly limited. Music Place I visit from time to time and yes, they also have Gonzales. Thanks for the reminder.

Peter at Leisure Coast hopes to be stocking Rigotti and Sirari by years end.

I use Conrad (former Dr Sax) in Fitzroy North for my limited reed needs.
Trading as reeds.com.au.
His prices are reasonable and I usually get them within 24 hours.
Probably helps that I’m just up the road from him.
Last time I ordered reeds from overseas it was still far cheaper even with shipping than The Music Place or Ozwinds.

Same! The freight charges is painful !
I should order few more at last time. But it got risk if the strength number not working for me
Rigotti wild got more spread sound than the Rigotti Gold

I've contacted a couple of Rigotti dealers asking them to source the Wilds for me. LCBW in Woolongong and Reeds-Direct in the UK (where I get what I can't get locally - eventually).

FWIW - LCWB have Rigotti Wilds in stock

Quick aside, I happened to find an old Reeds Australia Vintage reed in my drawer recently, I believe a demo I received some time ago (2004?)at the saxophone Congress. I don’t believe these are produced any more? What was the history of those?
