Information sites:
The Internet
Cello Society
"The Internet Cello Society, an international cyber-community
of cellists, seeks to advance the knowledge and joy of cello
playing around the world. We welcome cello enthusiasts of
all ages and skill levels."
Violink
"Our primary aim is to continue offering an adequate
support to all of the institutions and the initiatives that
promote the classical violin, that is the heart of Cremona,
beating in the talented body of the violinmaking workshops."
Information about instruments / luthiers
with good web sites:
Maestronet.com
"Downloadable sheet music and rare string instruments"
An attempt at connecting up instrument dealers and listing
their instruments on the web. In practice, I've found that
instrument dealers do not necessarily want to post information
about their rare instruments on the web. The world of luthiers
and instrument dealers is a strange world...
Bein
& Fushi
"Founded in 1976 by Robert Bein and Geoffrey Fushi, Bein & Fushi
is one of the world's premier violin dealers and restorers." I've
heard that Robert Bein is assembling a huge database of instruments they
have come across at B&F. This is a good thing.
David
Wiebe
A prime example of a fantastic, informative site. It's well
organized, and it makes me happy to see luthiers today moving
in this direction!
Andrew Carruthers
The local luthier and restorer I use for keeping my cello in good shape. Andy is located in Santa Rosa, does fantastic work, and is of the nicest guys I know.
Chamber groups / musician sites:
St. Lawrence String Quartet
The current resident string quartet at Stanford University (and some of
the nicest people in the world). I manage their web presence.
Livia Sohn
Livia rules! I have probably over 100 photos of her eating. I also maintain
her website. :)
Vienna Teng
She's the only pop singer whose lyrics I actually listen to. She rocks, and is a good friend.
[buy
her cd from amazon!]
Vendors:
Shar
Music
"Shar Products is North America's leading mail
order supplier of bowed string instruments and supplies"
Montagnana
Books
Violin Books, autographs, photos and collectibles. Specializing
in the violin family. There's a lot of neat stuff there.
