BY CATEGORY
When conducting a "Category Search" from any page, clicking on the "category link" will retrieve all the items that contain that reference.

EXAMPLE: A search of the category link "Guitars" will return every item referenced that way which could include electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, etc.

EXAMPLE: A search of the category link "Records/LPs" or "CDs" will return every item referenced that way which could include Record, LP or CD.

KEYWORD SEARCH
However, if what you are really looking for is a Gibson Guitar or all the titles from the Beatles, then you need to execute a "Keyword Search" and type in as specific a reference as you wish, click and our search engine will do the work for you. You can even get down to a particular model or a specific title. If nothing returns, check your spelling or widen your search by dropping some qualifier from the search request.  Some members' home pages will offer advance searches.  Here you would enter the specific information in the corresponding search window.  As before, if nothing returns, then check your spelling or widen your search by dropping some search qualifier from the search form.

ADVANCED SEARCHES
Our advanced search allows you to choose several combinations of search qualifiers.  The Advanced Music Search allows you to enter "Artist", "Title" and any other search criteria, like "CD", "Record/LP", "Blues", "Jazz", "Band Music", "Orchestra Music", "Ensemble Music", "Videos", "Books", "Vintage Sheet Music", etc...  You may enter information in just the "Other Search Criteria" search field, like "Instructional Video", "Guitar Tablature", "Apparel", "Country", "Brass Music", etc.  This will retrieve all the items that contain that reference.

SHOPPING THROUGH OUR WEBSITE
We have developed a unique e-commerce solution that allows you to buy directly from our dealers in two ways.   When you find an item or items you are looking for you can either place a check in the "check box" beside the item (s) or click on the Dealer's name (in Blue) selling the item.

By clicking on the Dealer's name you will be taken to the Dealer's Contact Information page.   From here you may either call, fax, e-mail, click over to that dealer's Web site or order directly from that dealer.  When placing checks in the "check boxes" remember to add these items to your cart.  You may add items to your cart from as many individual dealers as you wish.  Each dealer will receive your order and begin processing the order for you.   If you are purchasing more than one item from more than one dealer listed, be sure to note each dealers' sales policies, method of payment and shipping/return policies.

You may choose to continue shopping and add additional items to your basket, or click on checkout at anytime to proceed to our checkout system.  Another unique feature of our e-commerce system is the dealer must enter a secure area to retrieve your order.  Because our dealers have shops and do shows, it is possible that they may sell an item prior to receiving your order. If he has the item in stock, he accepts the order and processes it. If he does not have the item in stock, he rejects the order and you will receive an e-mail from the dealer stating that he no longer has the item available.
