    Instruments Online may be a nice place to start with - just click on the blue "INSTRUMENTS"-button on the upper right of this page, and look how far you get.

    All the best,

    what I´m really missing over the net, more than orchestration courses (which can also be find on books) are good tutorials on "orchestra-orientated MIDI sequencing".

    I already know some of the usual ways to program stuff and such, but a lot of times I fid myself wondering "how will the rest of the people clobber this prob?"

    I'm about to receive (after more than one month an a half of waiting time) "The Guide to MIDI Orchestration" from barnes and noble. I'll let you know how it goes, I haven't seen any other book of web site dedicated exclusively to midi orchestration... maybe it is time to search more exhaustively. [:D]

    There is an award-winning on-line string pedagogy that may be of help here:

    They're a well established "Net" university with many endorsements. I just started working with the Writing For Strings course and my first impressions are that it is very thorough and competent.

    Check out Alexander University. I know they have three levels of String writing courses. I believe the courses now includes a 1 min string quartet and 1 min of string orchestra recording of your music by Live musicians (remember what they look like [[;)]] ).

    I don't see one for the complete orchestra though. Call Peter Alexander. He is very helpful and knowledgeable. http://alexuniv.com/AU/classlist.html">http://alexuniv.com/AU/classlist.html
