And to this day, these instruments have a special place in our heart: We're not just the first port of call for all woodwind and brass players, but with our decades of experience and our uniquely comprehensive selection, we can cater to any and every individual preference – for beginners and professional musicians around the world. Whether it's the trumpet, saxophone, flute or tuba – in our wind instrument department, you are guaranteed to find the right instrument, from affordable entry-level models to professional, handcrafted masterpieces. We also offer wind instrument accessories, from mouthpieces and care products to transport cases.

Saxophone, clarinet, oboe, and bassoon – perfect instruments for passionate musicians

Would you like to learn to play the saxophone? Then a tenor or alto sax is the ideal way to start, regardless of whether you want to play Classical, Pop, or Jazz. For more advanced and professional saxophonists, we also offer soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, with countless different models and price points. And that's not all: Our range also includes rare and unusual items such as soprillo, sopranino, bass, and subcontrabass saxophones – for saxophonists who are looking for a really individual sound. Alongside the saxophone, the clarinet is one of the most popular woodwind instruments: We stock clarinets in all designs and tunings, with French and German fingering systems. And of course, no orchestra would be complete without the oboe and the bassoon! The oboe plays a central role in many orchestral pieces, providing the melodic lines, while the bassoon is more responsible for laying the sonic foundations. We offer a wide range of these two illustrious woodwind instruments, from inexpensive beginner pieces to handcrafted master instruments of the highest quality.

Trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone and tuba – the versatility of brass instruments

Anyone looking for the perfect trumpet, whatever the style of music they play, is sure to find just the right instrument in our selection. Whether you're a beginner or a professional – whether you play Classical or Jazz – whether you play in an orchestra or solo: In the trumpet, you've chosen perhaps the most well-known and versatile brass instrument. We stock a huge range of trumpets in all prices, categories, and models, and of course the necessary accessories. The same applies if you choose a flugelhorn, the trumpet's rather more gentle sister instrument. With its warm sound, it's indispensable for providing appealing melodic lines, especially in big bands and Jazz ensembles. The trombone also has a very characteristic tone, with its unique slide mechanism enabling expressive, dynamic playing: Our wide range extends from inexpensive trombones, to make beginners' lives as easy as possible, to exclusive master-class instruments. Or are you perhaps more a fan of the lowest notes? The tuba is often considered the "queen of wind instruments" – anyone buying and playing the tuba has chosen an instrument with real character. Both its resonant sound and commanding presence means it will take centre stage in every orchestra, brass ensemble, or marching band. Our wide selection includes tubas in all tunings, designs, and price ranges. In addition, we also stock the sousaphone and the euphonium, two siblings of the tuba that are essential in any marching band.

The best horns for orchestras, brass bands, and marching bands

Whether it's the warm, soft sound of the French horn or the voluminous, deep tone of the tenor horn, our huge range has everything anybody could possibly want when it comes to instruments from the extensive horn family. Of course, this also includes the baritone, which is a mainstay in any brass band or marching formation. The same applies to alto and baritone horns, which are particularly at home in traditional brass music: The alto horn in particular is also one of the indispensable marching instruments. On stage, in an orchestra, or on the march: You'll find the right horn for every performance here!
