It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
I just bought the CD but it only gave me one shipping option (West). I am not sure what this means. I was thinking West Coast but I live on the east coast. Am I gonna have any shipping problems?

No, you won't have any shipping problems, it's just the way I happen to code some of the states in our store.

Just wanted to say that I thought all the performances on the PW CD were excellent! We have some really talented folks on this forum, I especially liked many of the original compositions!
Got my CD there a few days ago and I'm impressively impressed. I hope this isn't the last Piano World CD.
Ted .. !! I really enjoyed all your tunes. I haven't picked a favourite but I found "The Blues Boncus Drag" intriguing. I couldn't quite draw a character of your son in my head but maybe a few more listens would help cement something in place. A very fun listen, nonetheless.
I hope the project was a success for everyone who helped produce the CD ... i.e. I hope you'll consider doing another sometime.
Thanks to you all (everyone!!) for the inspiration ... !!
What an excting project! I just ordered my copy. I have question, however. In the cd contents listing I did not see an indication of what type of instrument the performance was recorded from. Is this available? Thanks.

I was interested mostly because there has been a lot of disucssion about what piano members use. Realizing that the acoustics of the recording "studio" will vary, it still might give an approximation of the sound that each type of instrument might have. Perhaps even including more technical aspects, mike placement, room size, etc. would be of benefit to others who are attempting to record their own performances. Just a thought. Thanks.

Yes there is something to that. Afterall a Steinway does sound different from a Bosie or a Yamaha. BUT Many other things profoundly affect the sound. Microphone quality selection and placement. Preamp quality. Recording and processing equipment, like equalization.
Personally I played my Mason and Hamlin BB with close miking with cardioid mics since I am not living in a recording studio. I tried to remove the sound of my living room, then added a small amount of digital reverb. I hired a pro to bring in equipment, not that expensive actually.
Frank, I just received the CD. Thanks for expediting so quick! While I've only listed to a handful of tracks, there are some very, very talented players and I'm sure it will provide some truly wonderful listening experiences.
Hey Ax, really really nice pieces! You are a fine player.
My hat goes off to all. Thanks again, Roger

ejsauter, I have a 5'3" Yamaha G1R. I recorded my piece at home with a $250, Fostex MR-8 digital recorder MR 8 . I used Shure SM57 microphones. I don't remember how I had them placed. I had no idea what I was doing!

I browsed the CD on my computer for a few days when I first got the CD. It's been a few months now, time to give it another listen.
