I'm putting together a simple website for our local music group and in the Links section I really don't have many sites for string instruments.

So could you tell me of any good websites you've found?

e.g.


Historical info
National or International Societies, Organisations
Forums
Online lessons
Advice & Tip for beginners
Improving technique
Choosing an instrument
Instrument care and maintenance
DIY repair

Recommended shops/Ebay shops for instruments, accessories, tools etc.

...etc...

Thanks,

Steve

This is the Internet Cello Society - not being a cellist, I can't vouch for its usefulness or accuracy though.

These are mostly stringy.... ish.

PRODUCTS
- Derek Roberts Instruments
- Johnson String Instruments
- SharMusic
- General Musician Accessories


INSTRUMENT JOKES (quite similar sites)
- Site I
- Site II

EARLY MUSIC & FOLK
- The Early Music Shop (very good)
- Folk Music & Forum

I love www.violinmasterclass.com So useful! And with videos and demos etc. to explain everything, with loads of extremely talented players to inspire you www.violinonline.com is pretty useful too

Thanks for all these. I know the EMS quite well and bought a Regency music stand a few years ago.

Any more sites?

Sheilas Corner is a good site, with links to websites good for Violin muisc, Violin Technique. I use this site very often. Very useful.

violinist.com is a very good site for discussion. A lot of top players post and write blogs there and it's very interesting to listen in.
