What does Whichpond mean? : Nothing. I wish it were something clever/amusing/deep, but it is simply two words that I thought worked well together. Sorry to disappoint....

Who is behind all this? : That would be David Bussick. A bio page may be found here.

Do you have a mailing list? : Yes. To sign up for the Whichpond Music new release mailing list simply send an email to new-request@whichpond.com with the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject field.

How do I place my order online? : The first step is to create an account. After you are logged in you can browse through our catalog by clicking on the categories on the left side of the screen or search the catalog for specific composers or pieces. Clicking on the title of a piece will bring up more information (samples, instrumentation, grade, etc.). If you want to purchase the piece simply click on the Add to Cart icon. When you are finished adding items to your cart click on the Checkout icon to complete the transaction.

Is it possible to view all the pieces available in the Whichpond Music Online Store? : Yes. See our All Products Page for a complete list of pieces organized alphabetically by composer.

What are my payment options for online orders? : You may pay online using your credit card or you can send in a check or money order. You will be able to select your preferred payment method at checkout. If you are a member of PayPal you may pay using that method as well. Simply choose the PayPal option and you will be redirected to their site at checkout.

How much will I pay for shipping and handling? : Your shipping rate will be automatically calculated at checkout.
The shipping and handling rate depends on the amount of music you buy (it ranges from $2.50 to $12.00 for orders in the U.S. and Canada). We occasionally have promotions where shipping is free or discounted.
Shipping costs for orders outside the U.S. and Canada will be slightly higher.

Is it possible to receive .pdf files of the music? : Yes. Simply make a note during the checkout process or send me an email with your request.

Is this site secure? : Yes. All areas of the site dealing with the transfer of sensitive information (account creation, checkout, payment, etc.) are protected by a secure connection.
