Hello mouthpiece fans
I need a couple sheets of 2000 sandpaper. I don't want to have to buy 50 sheets and I live in an area where I can't find anything that fine. Can anybody contact me so as to sell and send me some? I would really appreciate it.

I just searched around and found 10 sheets here:

Searching for "crocus cloth" also turns up some hits but you may not want a cloth.

I find anything finer than 600 (US-scale) = 1200 (P-scale) to be too fine for rail work.  I use "0000" steel wool for body finishing.

Try any auto repair or parts shop.  They almost all carry 2000 and  even 
some 8000 grit wet or dry paper.

Thanks for your replies. I live in a small town and the finest the only auto parts in town has is 1200 and the hardware 600. I do not drive and cant get into the city. I only need a couple sheets because it is a small job polishing up an ABS clarinet barrel. I was told by a serviceman of high repute that the best way to do it is with 2000 paper and oil so that is my plan. If someone could send me a couple sheets for $2 or $3 I would appreciate it. 

Smallparts.com is a convenient source for these types of products.  Under sandpaper you will find the 3M Light Blue Ultrafine 9 micron  paper that is the equivalent of 2000 grit.

If you are polishing a plastic clarinet barrel, you also might consider putting it snugly on the right size dowel, holding the dowel in a vise, and hand "ragging" it with a soft cloth using a fine metal polish. Just don't get too carried away and generate too much heat with the friction! When finished just wash it off and hit it with a coat of Pledge furniture polish and you have a nice finish.

Hi , Try an auto body shop or a fibregalass repair shop (R.V repair shop). They are likely to have 2000 grit.
