Dorothy,

I have a catalog that lists half-round reeds from
Frank's Cane & Rush Supply
7252 Heil Ave,
Huntington Beach, CA 92647
(714) 847-0707
http://www.franksupply.com

they also have a lot of bamboo & other things.

Haven't bought from them yet, but they were recommended by Glenn Grishkoff
who gave a great brushmaking workshop at Sierra Nevada College a while
back.

I have purchased these reeds from FRanks and was unhappy with their quality,
as many were frayed, splintered and totally unusable. I returned them and
they did give me a refund. Of course, that is only my experience, but if you
want first quality reeds, i would recommend looking elsewhere.
Unless you are planning on doing a huge amount of work with reeds, your best
bet would probably be a local craft supply store.
