What our customers say about Wonderful Winds:
* I have been a fanatic collector of flute ensemble and flute orchestra arrangements since they first became available, and they are the basis of my flute courses. I have also commissioned many works to add to the repertoire. For me Wonderful Winds are a real joy.
Their arrangements are interesting and well prepared, easy to read and very well presented,
Apart from this, for me, (a wrinkly who can't use Sibelius) , just to email and say "please do me an alto/ clarinet/contra bass flute/ whatever part," and Mel does it immediately with humour , goodwill and efficiency is a constant miracle. Especially after all those years when clarinet and alto players always screamed they could not read my transpositions .
Well done Wonderful Winds ! keep at it !
