So, to those following: I ordered the reeds for my 44H from westmusic in Japan, and wrote an email asking about the gaskets, which are not included with the reeds. Go Kawamoto kept up excellent correspondence with me, as we realized the webpage had a mistake about the model number, which he corrected. He instructed me to order the reeds and when I’d done that he would add the gaskets to the order. The entire order was under $100, including shipping to San Francisco. It’s considerably less than just getting the reeds from the eBay seller, who doesn’t carry the gaskets. So this seems to be the way to replace the reeds (and gaskets if desired) in a 44H or 44HP, which he also carries. Here are the links:
