Dear Musicians,
There seems a huge number of online shops selling music and other accessories on their websites. I'm looking for a store that is well organized and has a large selection and has a relatively long business record. Anybody have some good recommendations?

I bought several opera "study books" [what in their term?] for my coloratura daughter-in-law for Christmas, the Pender Music Store in OK City had many, more I believe than Sheet Music Plus , my second choice. I have a present order in S M P for a band arr. of Der Rosenkavalier melodies, rather slow so far, but easy to search and select. There are others, but CD/DVD selling is dominant!! Don

I had an unhappy experience with smplus; they endlessly delayed shipping me an order, finally telling me that it was out of print. When I asked if they could check with the publisher if the selection might be reissued, they REFUSED!! With only a few clicks on the mouse I accessed the publisher myself and within seconds, located and ordered the music directly. It arrived within 10 days, all the way from the UK. The price, after S & H and the conversion rate were all factored in was LESS than I would have paid smplus for the same order.
Boosey & Hawkes is the publisher and they have a site at musicshop@boosey.com.

Woops! I just realized that I gave an incorrect address in my post. Boosey's site is at www.boosey.com. Once in click on composers & repertoire and then on "shop". You can also peruse their sales and rental catalogue by following other links you will find.

I just had EXCELLENT luck with Pepper. I placed an order Monday morning, 10am and received it yesterday afternoon. Yea!
I've also had a good experience with Malecki Music at <www.maleckimusic.com>. Their site is very easy to search. Some of the pieces I ordered were difficult for them to get, but rather than making me wait, their customer service department actually called me to see what I wanted to do. I think it took 7 - 10 days for my order to arrive.
If you want to see what you're purchasing, I recommend <www.windmusicplus.com>. I've yet to find a search function, but for ensemble music, they have everything broken out by instrumentation. Plus, when allowed, they have the first sheet of the score as a viewable file.
As far as <www.sheetmusicplus.com> goes, I believe their selection may be unparalleled, but I don't care for the fact that they give very little information about the pieces (e.g. grade level, no viewable score, no sound file, etc.). As a result, I've yet to order from them.

If you're going to use "Sheet Music Plus" I would really appreciate it if you got there via the search box here. Every little bit of money coming into Woodwind.Org helps ...

TKS, Jim E - still searching for out-of-print?? Der Rosenkavalier Waltzes, I tried JW Pepper, after about an hour searching [poorly, I guess] EUREKA, I found it for our Band conductors. We'll see. Don
