Saxophone |
||
| E-Saxophone has some great links to information specifically for saxophonists and also for general jazz fans. | ||
| As its name suggests, Jazz Pianists is a great site for, well.... jazz pianists. Lots of links to other sites of relevance, and although American in it's bias, some tasty morsels of info. to get stuck into here. | ||
| Jazz Sax is a collection of mini-sites all pertaining to playing jazz sax (what a surprise!). Loads of information can be gleaned by perusing the Bulletin Boards (BBS) and following the plethora of links on every page. Happy Hunting! | ||
| No prizes for guessing what this site's about! Based in New York, Scot Ranney has built this site with one target: to provide everything the aspiring jazz pianist needs to get them started. Get those keys tinklin' with Scot!! | ||
| Saxophones.co.uk is a huge site with lots of saxes for sale - that's it in a nutshell! Lots of links to major manufacturers, and some useful information pages for you budding Buds out there! | ||
| Mark Eisenman has been a jazz pianist for 25 years, and his site offers some great help and tips on how to improve the professionalism of your performance. | ||
| Sax On The Web is a Forum for all things saxy - forums are essentially web-based conversations with readers of a forum contributing (or just lurking, where no-one knows you are there!).

|
Trumpet |
||
| Keilwerth, originally a German company making saxophones until they became part of the Boosey and Hawkes empire (now part of The Music Group). A good site with with some natty little fingering charts with animated graphics ;-) | ||
| Every thing you could possible want to know about the art of trumpetting, this site offers a far greater choice of links to trumpeters than I can offer here. | ||
| As a non-sax player, I've included this one because I think it might generate some 'healthy' discussion amongst you reed-men and women. Jim Schmidt has designed a radical new fingering system to replace Adolphe Sax's original. Have a look, and let me know what you think - looks logical to me, but as I've said I don't play sax .... | ||

Guitar |
Another American company who have started with a clean slate with the idea of designing the perfect instrument. | |
| Jazz Guitar is a site specifically for guitarists. It features online lessons and lots more besides. | An Italian company who have been making woodwind instruments since the early 1800s, Rampone and Cazzani make a wide range of saxes - check out the Allesophone for the ultimate in sexy saxes!!!! | |
| The ubiquitous Yamaha Corporation and their fine range of instruments, complete with links to almost every other facet of the Yamaha empire! | ||
| Sax King is "the premiere online guide to the saxophone" and offers advice and information on every aspect of the instrument. | ||
| A very witty site which is worth visiting for a good giggle. All the usual information, but with a humorous twist - I really enjoyed this one! | ||
| Yanagisawa are arguably one of the great sax manufacturers. This link takes you to their English site (no prizes for guessing that they are a Japanese firm!). | ||
| Having ploughed through the above links, here's a site which describes briefly the major makers - see if I've missed any out!! | ||
| e-saxophone has some useful links to saxophone-related sites of interest to all players. | ||
