I agree, KeyString. Sad . . . and sadder . . .
Even we musicians have the blinders on, incredibly.

Not a teacher, but when we can make the long drive, my daughter LOVES getting music here: http://www.mosfullertonmusic.com

It's a pack-rats dream. It's just too far to go and have that the only destination. The only downside is all their pianos are not allowed to be touched and I swear her hands get itchy with desire.

Adding - I ordered on Amazon this week - the music wasn't local and she needed it right away. I only ordered books 1 from the sets. For the next books I have more time and can order locally.

We are fortunate in Amsterdam to have a WONDERFUL sheet music store next to the Concertgebouw: Broekmans & Van Poppel. They stock just about everything and order what they have run out of or don't stock very quickly. If you are in town for a concert, it should be a must-visit stop on your list. Make sure you tell them you are a teacher to get your discount. They also have a great antiquary department upstairs that changes often and often contains rare, out-of-print editions, as they tend to buy the entire collections of used music from the estates of dead professional and amateur pianists without interested heirs (of which there are, unfortunately, more and more every month it seems).

Great service, nice place to hang out browsing,...and realistically, perhaps they too will be out of business in another 25 years....who knows?...they also have a website but it is not their core competency, to put it politely: http://www.broekmans.com/en/default.cfm

Online alternatives:

www.musicstore.co.uk
www.amazon.co.uk
www.imslp.org for a great selection of public domain free scores

You are also supremely fortunate to have that unimmaginably fine institution right next to the Broekmans & Van Poppel store!!

In Amsterdam, you're just basically fortunate to be in Amsterdam.
