I believe in being transparent. It helps me earn and maintain your trust, so I’d like you to understand how Woodwind Stuff makes money.
Woodwind Stuff participates in a number of affiliate programs. As such, I often link to products and services outside this site. If you buy something from those links, sometimes those companies will pay a commission. It does not change the price you pay. Generally, it’s best to assume that any external links are monetized in some way.
Affiliate Networks I’m Partnered With
Woodwind Stuff is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program. We may earn a commission on qualifying purchases we refer.
Other brands I mention either have their own affiliate program, or they use 3rd-party networks to manage affiliates, such as Impact, Skimlinks, and Sovrn. These include, but aren’t limited to:
- Avid Technology
- Distrokid
- Music & Arts
- Musician’s Friend
- Native Instruments
- Plugin Boutique
- Reverb
- Squarespace
- Sweetwater
- Thomann
- Waves
- Woodwind & Brasswind
Do Your Affiliate Commissions Make You Biased?
I don’t think so.
Part of the reason I started Woodwind Stuff was to give my honest thoughts without being beholden to retailers and manufacturers.
Almost everything I talk about comes from first-hand experience as a musician, educator, and former retailer. And if I don’t have real-world experience with a product, I’ll consult with someone who does.
Some of the companies I talk about don’t even have affiliate programs. But I love their stuff and recommend them anyway.
But I try not to get caught up in endless hype and fake positivity. So I also make a point to cover products I think are bad.
Simply put, my opinions are honest and genuine whether I get paid for them or not.
I’m building this website based on what I like to talk about, not who pays the most.
Your Support
I strive to provide honest reviews and recommendations. However, it’s always recommended to conduct your own research before making a purchase.
If you do purchase something through my affiliate links, thank you. I genuinely appreciate your support.
