Their extensive stock of instruments is available to me, and I can play and select recorders and other historic woodwinds for interested players. Well, one characteristic of both wooden and plastic recorders that I keep repeating to players new to the world of early music is that each recorder is unique. A retail store can stock only so many of a particular model - often, just one instrument. Magnamusic has shelves-full available to me, and I will select the best one for you. This service is offered in particular to players who do not have access to a good selection of quality instruments.
Many music stores stock only a couple of inexpensive recorders.
Magnamusic Distributors has some of the finest instruments in the world, from Germany, England, the Netherlands , and Japan. All recorders are new and carry the maker's warranty. Collins and Williams does not carry used instruments. The above information also applies to other available historic woodwinds. If you are interested in them, I would be happy to mail you a descriptive brochure.
