Re: Antiques, including musical instruments
The Encyclopedia of Music in Canada contains several articles on instrument manufacturing and antiques, including background information about Canadian companies. However, reliable appraisals require physical examination by an expert. Check your Yellow Pages or The International Society of Appraisers:

Re: Government/Political parties
We are not affiliated with any government or political party, and do not comment on government policy or opinions expressed by the public. We cannot offer assistance with immigration concerns.
Re: Recordings/CDs/Scores
There is no single resource that lists suppliers of recordings, etc. If you enclose the title in quotation marks and search for it online, you will find any Internet sources that mention that title. You may find a listing for artists and their work in the AMICUS Index:
