We have used Eble Music, which gives us a 10% discount, and
Sophisticated (at least for our needs) service.  We did not try to
negotiate the discount. They charge for shipping. Check with the folks
at St. Olaf College in Northfield MN--they have a huge printed music
collection, and are very knowledgeable about sources.

We have had some success using Ambassador Book Service Inc. for various
media products (VHS, DVD, CD-ROM).  In some cases we received discounts
as high as 20%.  Ambassador is located in Hempstead, NY.  I have dealt
with
the Media Services Manager Mary Mercado and the Media Services Director
Philip Hallman.  The Ambassador phone number is 1-800-431-8913.  Their
web site (http://www.absbook.com) contains a link for "New Media
Releases.”

Hi,

Do you use any vendors for your music materials (scores, books, CDs...)?

If yes, do you usually receive discounts for your purchases?  Can you
suggest a few good music material vendors?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
