Wind Instruments

The history of Thomann began over 70 years ago as a vendor wind instruments. And to this day, these instruments have a special place in our heart: We're not just the first port of call for all woodwind and brass players, but with our decades of experience and our uniquely comprehensive selection, we can cater to any and every individual preference – for beginners and professional musicians around the world. Whether it's the trumpet, saxophone, flute or tuba – in our wind instrument department, you are guaranteed to find the right instrument, from affordable entry-level models to professional, handcrafted masterpieces. We also offer wind instrument accessories, from mouthpieces and care products to transport cases.

Saxophone, clarinet, oboe, and bassoon – perfect instruments for passionate musicians

Would you like to learn to play the saxophone? Then a tenor or alto sax is the ideal way to start, regardless of whether you want to play Classical, Pop, or Jazz. For more advanced and professional saxophonists, we also offer soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, with countless different models and price points. And that's not all: Our range also includes rare and unusual items such as soprillo, sopranino, bass, and subcontrabass saxophones – for saxophonists who are looking for a really individual sound. Alongside the saxophone, the clarinet is one of the most popular woodwind instruments: We stock clarinets in all designs and tunings, with French and German fingering systems. And of course, no orchestra would be complete without the oboe and the bassoon! The oboe plays a central role in many orchestral pieces, providing the melodic lines, while the bassoon is more responsible for laying the sonic foundations. We offer a wide range of these two illustrious woodwind instruments, from inexpensive beginner pieces to handcrafted master instruments of the highest quality.

Trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone and tuba – the versatility of brass instruments

Anyone looking for the perfect trumpet, whatever the style of music they play, is sure to find just the right instrument in our selection. Whether you're a beginner or a professional – whether you play Classical or Jazz – whether you play in an orchestra or solo: In the trumpet, you've chosen perhaps the most well-known and versatile brass instrument. We stock a huge range of trumpets in all prices, categories, and models, and of course the necessary accessories. The same applies if you choose a flugelhorn, the trumpet's rather more gentle sister instrument. With its warm sound, it's indispensable for providing appealing melodic lines, especially in big bands and Jazz ensembles. The trombone also has a very characteristic tone, with its unique slide mechanism enabling expressive, dynamic playing: Our wide range extends from inexpensive trombones, to make beginners' lives as easy as possible, to exclusive master-class instruments. Or are you perhaps more a fan of the lowest notes? The tuba is often considered the "queen of wind instruments" – anyone buying and playing the tuba has chosen an instrument with real character. Both its resonant sound and commanding presence means it will take centre stage in every orchestra, brass ensemble, or marching band. Our wide selection includes tubas in all tunings, designs, and price ranges. In addition, we also stock the sousaphone and the euphonium, two siblings of the tuba that are essential in any marching band.

The best horns for orchestras, brass bands, and marching bands

Whether it's the warm, soft sound of the French horn or the voluminous, deep tone of the tenor horn, our huge range has everything anybody could possibly want when it comes to instruments from the extensive horn family. Of course, this also includes the baritone, which is a mainstay in any brass band or marching formation. The same applies to alto and baritone horns, which are particularly at home in traditional brass music: The alto horn in particular is also one of the indispensable marching instruments. On stage, in an orchestra, or on the march: You'll find the right horn for every performance here!

From recorders to concert flutes – scaling the heights of popularity

The members of the flute family are among the most popular woodwind instruments, inspiring and delighting musicians of all ages. The recorder in particular is extremely popular with families, schools, and ensembles. At Thomann, we have a great selection of recorders, from soprano to bass and with German or Baroque fingering. Our range of concert flutes is also impressive in its diversity – from piccolos to bass flutes, and from inexpensive beginner models to handcrafted solid silver flutes for professional soloists. Or enjoy a tour of our collection of other flutes and recorders, and discover a diverse selection of instruments such as panpipes, ocarinas, whistles, duduks, and effect pipes.

Hunting, marching and other special occasions – the choice is yours!

Wind instruments for hunting and marching are mainly played outdoors, making it particularly important for them to be robust and durable. It might be signalling horns for hunting or metal flutes for marching bands – all our instruments are perfectly suited to professional outdoor use. And in our Miscellaneous Wind Instruments section, you'll find a fun selection ranging from kazoos to nose flutes. In addition, we offer an incomparably varied range of exotic instruments such as didgeridoos, alpine horns, bagpipes, and jaw harps. Digital wind instruments, on the other hand, are capable of electronically generating both realistic and experimental sounds for stage and studio use. And while the harmonica has its roots in traditional German music, it is of course well-established in Folk, Blues, Country, and Pop: Our range extends from the chromatic harmonica to the blues harp in all its variants. And with the smallest of the keyboard instruments, the melodica, even very small children can learn the fundamentals of music through play.

Mouthpieces, mutes, sheet music, and accessories – only the best will do

Whether you are looking for the right mouthpieces for trumpet, trombone, or clarinet, or whether you need special reeds for your sax or oboe – Thomann stocks everything you need in top quality and from all well-known brands. From traditional mutes to the innovative Silent Brass system, you'll find ways both to reduce the volume of your instrument and to alter its sound.
