I apologize in advance since this is likely the wrong forum, but can I please get recommendations for places to order misc. trumpet accessories that ship quickly? I have written WWBW off since everything always seems to be "on back order" with them and they take forever to ship.

Thanks

Dillon Music. I usually use WWBW but they don't carry Zaja so I called Dillon. It shipped super quick. Great guys to talk to. They really seem to know there stuff. Good Luck!

I've never had a back-order at Giardinelli.

I, personally, have looked at Music123.com, but I'm not sure the similarities to WWBW go all the way to shipping.

WW&BW and Music123 are one and the same.

I would say Dillons or Giardinelli are your best bet. Good luck.

You could try MouthpieceExpress.com. They stock mainly mouthpieces, but also a range of accessories. You can normally tell as soon as you add-to-cart if an item is in stock or not.

It's not a warehouse, but Tulsa Music usually has great deals on expensive mouthpieces and such. Check them out from time to time.

Tulsa Band has been really good to me in the past.

I bought my Z horn from Pro Winds. It is a great store with very reasonable prices.

I had a very good transaction with Donovan Bankhead at Springfield Music recently.

He posts here from time to time, and is also a trumpet player.

I would guess that any basic trumpet accessories, etc. could be obtained from him just as well or better than someplace like WWBW.

I've had three excellent transactions (all items WWBW backordered) with
Musician's Friend ( http://www.musiciansfriend.com ). Turns out they are a sister
site to Giardinelli's ( http://www.giardinelli.com ).

I just ordered some heavy valve caps for my Strad and WWBW sent them out in three days.
