I’m thinking of creating a sheet music store online. It’ll consist of a website with links to my music arrangements and compositions (mostly for clarinet, clarinet choir, and wind band/wind instruments.)

I’m having trouble thinking of a name for my virtual store, though, at least one that hasn’t been thought of before (Google is my friend here.)

Ideally, the name for my store would incorporate one or more of the following words (although it’s not absolutely necessary) :

Emily  
Emily G.  
G\*\*\* (my last name)  
Emily G\*\*\*  
music  
sheet music  
score (s)  
store  
shop  
…or perhaps some sort of musical term or wordplay.

So, any ideas for a name?

Is there high demand for original compositions and arrangement for the clarinet? I would not expect that to be a very large market.

How do you intend to price your sheet music?

I vote for [unplugged.net](http://unplugged.net)

Some good suggestions so far. Keep them coming.

There seems to be demand for clarinet choir music and wind band music. I’m basing that guess on the fact that I used to play in high-level wind bands and clarinet choirs, and in spite of our high level, we seemed to play the same music every few years. In any case, it’s not something I intend to be my primary source of income.

I don’t know if I’ll get my own domain name.

Papyrus Music.

You know, because papyrus is a _reed_.

You could put oboe, English horn, and bassoon in the “Double Papyrus Corner”

Or:

P A P Y R U S  
A  
P  
Y  
R  
U  
S

(because it makes a corner with a double Papyrus)

Ha. I knew “sheet happens” would be taken. How about some variation of “three sheets to the wind”.

Just so you guys know - I like all the suggestions so far, but I’m likely to lean more towards a professional-sounding name.

This store is still somewhat far in the future for now - I have some sheet music for sale now, but probably not enough to have a whole store yet.

I was going to suggest “Sheets for the Winds”.

If you want a New Jersey themed store, there’s “Yo! I got your sheet music… RIGHT HERE!”
