Saraband Music has resumed retailing music from other publishers. While the specialty is early music, all classical music will now be available via Saraband. The publication of music facsimiles is expanding, and these are a cornerstone of the Saraband catalogue. For pricelists, see below.

Catalogues will no longer be sent to customers automatically, but for those without computers, you are welcome to request a catalogue of your choice if you send a stamped, self-addressed envelope, no smaller than DL (business) size. If you want more than one catalogue sent, please add extra postage, and send an A4 size envelope. For more than three catalogues, please contact me first, as I will have to assess postage, and may ask for a very small contribution to cover costs.

As of March 2010, there has been some further rejuvenation of last year's publisher catalogues, however, please continue to regard prices here as a guide rather than exact. The A$ has improved markedly against various currencies, which has avoided further prices rises, but some publishers have also raised prices. There is a lot more work to be done on these catalogues.
Recent updates include all of Fuzeau and Cheap Trills, and partial work on Hawthorns. Kings Music has changed its name to the Early Music Company, and that is beginning to be changed in the catalogues.
