[TPIN] Sheet Music Service

[James Olcott]

There is also a company in Ohio called Southern Ohio Music Company  
(somusic.com) that has a lot of trumpet stuff in stock and is very  
quick with getting the music out (I use it quite a bit and have my  
own students order from there).

I am unsure of the return policy, but it is a snap to order online.

The owner is a former trumpeter, Carol Alvin, who exhibits at lots of  
conferences and is a major sponsor at the National Trumpet Competition.
