Axtremus?

We "arteests" are anxiously waiting to claim that we have been published!

Well, since Ax hasn't responded yet, I can tell you I have everything (including a check for the printer) EXCEPT the music CD. Still waiting to receive it from Mastering.

Ax will know more about that. Everything else, though, is ready to go.

Excellent!

Thank you for the update Bernard.

Just found out this week that I can expect to receive the mastered CD sometime next week... then off to the printers it goes! (I'm close to the printer in SoHo so everything is being sent here and I'm going to walk it in to the printers.) Yippee. Don't know how long it will take after that though.

Bernard,

Perhaps I missed it somewhere in the earlier threads about the CD project, but how does one go about purchasing a copy. Will it be sold through the Pianoworld on-line store?

Hi Big Al,

Yes, we will make it available through the PianoSupplies.com store.
I will announce it on the forums, and likely send an email to the membership.

Regards,

Can you purchase a copy if you live in Europe?

Yes, we can work it out.
When the time comes, send me all the address details and I'll figure out the shipping costs.

OK, great! Thanks!

Thought I would bump the thread to see how things are progressing. Any news? (or maybe it came out and I never found out...)

I left everything with the printers just before the end of May and signed off on the proofs the 1st week of June. They said 2.5 - 3 weeks production time. We're getting close.

Production complete. Finalising shipping arragement.

I'm looking forward to it.
I forgot, is it one CD or two?

Ax, I will PM you to make sure you have my current e-dress and address.

What is the price and physical address that I can mail a check to?

Thanks for all the work you guys did.

Will you accept PayPal payments?

I will be listing our CD in the PianoSupplies.com store (Piano World's online store).

Payments Accepted Include:
Visa
Master Card
American Express
Discover
PayPal
Checks

Pricing TBA soon.

Shipping charges will be based on weight, so ordering multiple copies (up to a point) won't change the shipping charges by much.

There is a form and button on the upper right side of our store pages for determening shipping, but it only works for the U.S. and its territories. Shipments outside the U.S. will have to be computed manually.

I will be posting all the info on the forums, and including it in our Piano Forums newsletter.

What newsletter you ask?
The first issue will be coming out right after I receive the CD's.

By the way, I've just ordered Piano World bumper stickers (I'll post a sample when I have it). A free bumper sticker will be included with each order.

And...
If that's not enough, we will also be making a donation to a non-profit organization supporting music in our schools for every CD sold (more info here: Support The Music

This is all very exciting, and yes, many thanks to all the hard work by everyone involved (they did it all, I didn't do anything except lend moral support:-)

Best,

- Frank B.

How many CDs were pressed?

By the time you read this post, 1000 copies of Piano World CD have already left the production facility in some big brown UPS truck somewhere.

Ground shipment hey?

I have got the REAL THING in my hands today!
The real thing looks much more beautiful than I expected!

I also got the REAL THING in my hands today!
Ok, I got 1000 copies of the REAL THING:-)

Listening to it right now, all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew our members were talented, but I have to tell you, this is definitely professional quality stuff. I Love It!

I'll be posting the details about how you can purchase your own first edition copy of the Piano World Member Recordings, Volume 1

(hint: Piano World Member Recordings

Any chance of digital copy of the CD?
