how and I supposed to play music if I cant print out what I paid for? How can I put my computer onto my keyboard to play? My phone is too small to read the music, disappointed. Will never buy from again

These guys sent a copyright claim to music on a website so now I cannot play the song I love. I do not like Hal Leonard.

I purchased a digital piano from them, and they used UPS to deliver it, without warning me that UPS will not deliver the piano to my flat. The piano was left downstairs in the lobby in a very insecure position. Since I could not lift the piano myself up to my flat I had to hire a company that could do it on the day. It costed me £120. They have consistently been of nothrlp and have not returned my money. Don't get anything from them!

Their customer service is appalling. They do not support digital projects that were made just a couple years ago and now call them "legacy" products.

Swing Favourites Playalong for Drums Three changes would make this a far better product. The scores are mis-written in a few cases (irritatingly, two of the counts included) so you need to play through and amend. No big deal BUT if a non-reader bought this as a learning aid, it would be very confusing. 'How come the band has stopped and I'm still playing'? 'How come the band starts after me'? The original drums are still audible - digital removal is not difficult in the 21st Century. Many quality Playalongs give the option of listening with drums and then playing along without. This doesn't. The book is awkward and would be much improved in comb-bound format. Drummers often have to reach further than others to turn their pages and don't normally have much time for fiddling about to lay them flat! Having said that, a wannabe big band drummer will get a real sense of what it's like to play 17 piece swing. Turn up the headphones and have fun.
