Feedback
We love feedback. Please let us know about your experience using the Bass-ically Symphonic editions.
Additions and Suggestions
We are working to add music to our store. Editions are add in the order of our performance schedule. We have a busy performance schedule. The next really poorly printed part to hit our music stand is the next one that will be added. If you know of a part that would benefit from our style of improvement, we look forward to hearing from you.
Requests
If you have a special project request something that is not an orchestral bass part or maybe not even a bass part, we are willing to discuss your project to see if we are able to help.
Errors
Every effort has been made to provide a quality error-free product. If you find an error in the notation wrong note, insufficient beats in a measure, rehearsal letters in the wrong place, etc., please let us know immediately.
Frustrations
If you find yourself grinding your teeth over something in one of our editions, please let us know. In preparing the music, there are always some compromises made, such as deciding if the last line on the page should be really crammed together or if the page turn can be done with a shorter rest period.
Bowings
Bowings are optimized for section playing and are written by a person using a French bow. As those of you who perform with a German bow may find some of the bowings awkward, we have tried to be conservative in the bow markings. If you note a particular problem with a marked bowing, please let us know.
Printing Problems
It is our goal that every bass part you purchase from us will be very clearly and cleanly printed. If you receive a part with printing problems insufficient ink, overprint, pages out of sequence, etc., please let us know immediately.
Returns
We cannot accept returns or issue refunds without prior authorization. Please contact us regarding why you want to return your order.
