What are some trustworthy and affordable websites to buy music supplies from? I normally buy from WW&BW, but are there any other good online stores?

I don't know if we can list names.

Oh, come on - what do you mean, "step in it again"? As long as you're not advertising your own company ... I thought things were pretty clear.

Sheesh.

Seems to me Muncy Winds would be good. Any of our sponsors I'm sure would be very good (depending on what accessories you need). Muncy Winds I've heard a lot from. International Musical Supplier was pretty good to me (I was only testing mouthpieces though - I don't know how they are on other products). And some of the time, if a particular sight or sponsor doesn't have what you're looking for, I think they can get it for you if you prefer to deal with them.

I usually order from Weinermusic.com . Their product mix, fill rate, and price usually works for me.

I've had good results with http://www.prowinds.com, but the other sites mentioned are also good.

Here's some places I really like to deal with...

Muncy Winds - Great customer service! When they say they will send out the same day they actually do. http://www.muncywinds.com (I don't think their online store is fully operational yet but they do have a few things available through there.)

Weiner Music - Probably the best prices around. You used to be able to get free shipping if you e-mailed your order but I think they changed that to it has to be over $40. http://www.weinermusic.com/

Roberto's Woodwind - They can be a little pricey but they are always a pleasure to do business with. They tend to have slightly more exotic stuff that you can't find everywhere. http://www.robertoswoodwind.com/

I think WW&BW is starting to come around a little on their horrible customer service and poor inventory control, but it is still a bit of a mess. They are my last resort.

I have been shopping online for the past couple of years, and here are my observations:

Brook Mays http://www.brookmays.com - great selection, high prices, medium-to-slow delivery, extremely clumsy website.

Woodwind & Brasswind http://www.wwbw.com - great selection, good prices, very slow delivery, user-friendly website.

1Stop Clarinet Shop http://www.1stop.ws - limited selection, excellent prices, fast delivery, user-friendly website

Weiner music http://www.weinermusic.com - decent selection, good prices, fast delivery, clumsy website

ProWinds http://www.prowinds.com - limited selection, decent prices, fast delivery, clumsy website
