3.1 World Wide Web Sites and resources

Instrument manufacturers:

Reeds and mouthpieces:

• Gary Sugal's mouthpiece company home page. With other features.
• Rico International has a web site featuring, what else? Reeds.

Web oriented band instrument companies:

• Looking for a horn? Check out the Wichita Band Instrument Co. who feature lots of vintage saxophones.
• Giardinelli, "more than a music store." They actually have quite a good collection of links and other info.
• USA Horn, one of the few dealers that has earned the trust and respect of players around the World.
• The Woodwind & Brasswind features a lot of stuff. They've completely redone their site, so check it out.
• Joe Sax Woodwinds (800) 876-8771. Used, "Vintage" Saxes and other winds Bought, sold Traded. Paul Cohen comments:

  I have been using Joe, both for his repairing and as a source for instrument purchases for students and professionals for over 20 years, and I find his work and business ethics to be unimpeachable. He maintains all of my 140 saxophones, from the collectables to the one-of-a-kinds, up through my professional horns, ranging from sopranino to bass.

  I receive many requests from all over asking assistance in finding instruments. Of all the dealers that we encounter across the country, there are perhaps three that I trust without reservation. Joe is one of them.
