Alba Second Hand Music - Online Catalogue
This catalogue is primarily intended to list out-of-print, rare or unusual material. The retail outlets in Glasgow and Edinburgh have the standard repertoire not shown here. However it has been decided to include the scores and sets of orchestral parts which belonged to Iona Brown and were purchased by Albamusick last year.
