This is a resource
about instruments. The links I have collected here are among those I consider
the best information resources related to particular instrument families.
They include significant biographical sites, informational sites, link
sites, organizational sites, and sites of manufactures, publishers and
retailers specializing in certain instrument groups. I am sure that I miss
some great sites along the way, so feel free to tell me about some that
ought to be here. I reserve the right to, ah, refuse sites. Thanks. Enjoy.

Why this site?
I compose, write and webmaster.
I get weary of hunting search engines for everything. So it's handy to
have things close at hand. And it seems a good idea to share them with
others.
Composers and arrangers may
want to visit my Arranger-Composers'
Resource Page. It has links to copyright info, software makers, tutorials
and more, especially for the professional composer or arranger.
For music resources and search
engines of a wider nature, try my Music
Web Hunter site - big list of the world's search engines are
right at your fingertips in one place. Many have keyword forms ready to
go. Just type in your keywords and click "Hunt the Web" and you go right
into their search engine or directory. Other pages have catagorized links
to the best music information sources, including music directories, organizations,
styles and genres li ke jazz and classical, music therapy, a long link
list of music libraries, and more. This is a doorway to the best music
link resources on the web -- without a lot extraneous unrelated stuff to
wade through like you get with so many search engines these days
-- and edited by someone who knows something about music. Each music link
takes you to a REAL RESOURCE with lots more links in that catagory. That
way, you can cover a lot of ground ...er, cyber-ground... very quickly.
