As an instrument repair tech for the last 15 years I can echo the 'you get what you pay for' sentiment. A 4, 5 or 6K contra is not going to be a good ...
I'm in the fortunate position of having had not one, but *two* conductors ask me for suggestions for pieces to program that use contra. (How often does that...
A local amateur player has asked me how much I think his Adler Contra with low A extension would be worth. It was made in 1976. As the market is so small out...
How about the Mozart Serenade? That should be pleasing to the audience. If there is a decent cellist around, the Shostakovitch cello concerto is lightly...
Hello, everyone, I have several Harrison 12-reed cases (bassoon reeds) where the hinges are broken. Does anyone know of a source on the web for these tiny...

RE: WWBW---Make sure that it's in stock; they are in bankruptcy and unlikely to be able to order or take returns. So their 45 day policy on this would be...

Hi all, I am trying (in vain at times it seems) to track down the piano reduction of this concerto, which is featured on the recording of this work performed...
