I really like Van Cott Information Services (http://www.vcisinc.com/).
He doesn't specialize in just double reeds but, for some reason, his
collection of music for us seems more "interesting" to me than most of
what I see elsewhere online. I've ordered from him several times and
have been very satisfied with his service.

I hadn't been to his web site for a while before today and I see there
he now has Volume 4 of "The Orchestral Musician's CD-ROM Library" in
stock. So, I'll be ordering that soon. (These CD-ROM Library
collections are incredibly good deals, by the way. Even if you don't
play with an orchestra, they're quite nice to have around for study.
Not only that, it's tremendously fun to print out the oboe part for
something and play along with a famous orchestra on the stereo.)

Anyway, check him out. Gary Van Cott and http://www.vcisinc.com.
