I have gotten several shipments of CDs from Koebl. I have not ordered music from them, but, they have quite a supply of recordings totally unavailable everywhere else. There are 2 (well, sort of three) downsides to dealing with them, from my perspective, though. Their listings omit any label or catalog information, so it is not always easy to determine much about the recording, other that names of performers and usually most or all of the works. This is only a problem when you are trying to avoid purchasing something you already own. When the horn component of your collection of CDs is scattered through 5-10,000 other (sadly uncataloged) recordings this is a not inconsiderable risk. The other is that they do not do charge orders. No credit cards, no PayPal. They gave me instructions on how to transfer funds to a bank account they maintain in Indiana, but my bank (and I assume most others) charges $15 to transfer money this way. With the Euro-Dollar exchange rate going totally in the wrong direction, I was already paying well over $20 a disc, before postage. I have actually resorted to sending cash and hoping for the best. Even this presents difficulties since the smallest paper denomination of the Euro is 5, so you may end up rounding up considerably. They have been most pleasant to deal with and even have kept track of my credit resulting from sending a cash overpayment and from a return of an unwanted disc, but you might consider all of this info before sending off an order. It has been my experience that they send items without waiting for payment, which doesn't give you much chance to reconsider after you have ordered. All that said, I am still eagerly awaiting my most recent order of horn goodies from them.
