ABOUT US

Not Just Reeds began with a focus on the essentials woodwind players rely on: reeds, mouthpieces, and carefully selected accessories. As our business grows, our purpose remains the same: helping musicians find products that serve their playing.

Based in Huntington, Long Island, New York, we combine personal service with practical retail experience. Our manager, Arlette LaRocca, brings 20 years of experience in woodwind instrument and accessory retail at Weiner Music, where she handled purchasing and e-commerce management. Her background helps guide our product selection and relationships with suppliers.

Today, we’re building on our woodwind foundation and expanding our selection of instruments and music technology for woodwind and brass players. We’re especially interested in independent makers and thoughtful innovations that offer musicians something different, whether for practice, performance, or creative exploration.

Our name reflects that direction. Reeds remain an important part of what we offer, but they’re only the beginning. From everyday essentials to distinctive instruments, we want Not Just Reeds to be a store musicians can turn to for useful information, attentive service, and products worth discovering.
