➤ Who is responsible for this website?

Please see notice on main page or read A Personal Message.

➤ What is the purpose of this website?

This website presents the refurbishment of some cherished and even long forgotten gems from the wind band repertoire that may be otherwise out of print or exist without a full score or have outdated instrumentation. No parts are reprints.

➤ Is even a full score included in the sets?

A new, full score is always included, comprising all parts in the set. You will never receive reprints of old scores, a short score or a trumpet part marked Conductor.

➤ Why is your wind band music so inexpensive?

A set of wind band music should be affordable and no more expensive than a book. That’s the idea. Consequently, the sets offered on this website are either in the hardcover pricing category or in the paperbacks/softbacks pricing category.

➤ What exactly are the pricing categories?

Many mainstays from the wind band repertoire are offered at $10 or sometimes slightly more, $20–$30. This is the current deducted price. Some modern works or rarely found music, including some longer works, are offered at $50–$80.

➤ Why is more music at $50–$80 not sold discounted?

Large-scale print runs don’t exist. Print-on-demand (POD) for every order received is quite expensive, including stapling of score and folding of 2-page parts. Also, score and parts must be placed in a sturdy wrapper with a colourful front picture.

➤ How do I obtain copies for my band?

Higher priced music is marketed through J. W. Pepper in USA, while the most inexpensive sets priced at $10–$30 are downloads from windclassics.shop .
