Stephen Lang Photography - A brilliantly talented photographer who is taking an artistic approach to shooting Wood Violins' instruments. Watch the site for Stephen's pix - they'll start popping up all over the place! Right now, you can find them on the Stingray SV4 page.

In Tune Monthly - To quote from their website, this "is the only magazine written exclusively for music making students in grades 7 - 12 and their teachers. Used by teachers as an in-classroom text, the magazine focuses on enriching and broadening the traditional music curriculum in middle and high schools and appeals to the independent player as well." What we'd like to add is that if you teach music in any way on any level (or if you are a student for that matter), we HIGHLY recommend checking out this very important and highly compelling magazine and we urge you to share it with everyone you know!

Barbera Transducers - This is the Wood Violins pickup of choice - the versatility of tone and the dynamic range is phenomenal. Visit his site for more detailed info.

Alternative Strings: The New Curriculum by Julie Lyonn Lieberman Alternative Strings: The New Curriculum is a great resource book for string educators! The “Dear Abby” for string players, Julie Lyonn Lieberman, offers detailed descriptions of over two dozen fiddle, blues, jazz, pop, and world styles; bountiful support materials; a massive discography; musical examples; photographs; and audio from master players and clinicians, far exceeding the scope of other books in the field.
