Disklavier

Thank you, and it's so great to hear comments on the music!  Right now, the only way to purchase the songs is to buy the CD from retailers.  You can then copy the MIDIs from the CD onto your own floppy for playback on your piano.

I hadn't considered a MIDI-only distribution.  I'd expect the audience for that would be much smaller than for what I'm doing now (a traditional CD with MIDIs available when you insert it into a computer's CD-ROM drive).  But you never know-- it's hard to predict these things.

Thanks again!


                                    Dave
