Choice of titles:

Input options for your wishes:

Once you have found your desired title, there are various options:

1. Tempo change:

The original tempo of the recording of the artist named in brackets next to the song title is usually preset here. The specification is in beats per minute and refers to the quarter note unless otherwise stated. Don't change anything here if you want the playback to have the original tempo.
However, you can choose a different tempo. If you would like a value that is not listed, please provide "as per order notes". a. Then you must state the title and the desired tempo in the checkout area in the appropriate field.
Any speed change will be charged with the specified surcharge (usually €1.50).
Several tempi are common in some pieces. Then you can sometimes switch to other tempos without additional costs or, as described above, choose deviations that are subject to a fee.
Costs for the tempo change are displayed right next to the input and automatically added to the playback price.

2. Available keys:

The original key of the song is set here, if there is one (some pieces exist in many keys). If you would like to have a different key, click on the arrow and select yours from the options displayed there. Under "Special Requests" find out what you can do if the key you need isn't there.

3. Shipping method

All playbacks are available both for mailing and for download in different products.

The download of the playbacks immediately after receipt of the payment (for PayPal and Klarna immediately after the order) is only possible for titles with "Download" in the title. Pay attention to this when selecting the playbacks.
We guarantee that the download option will be available up to one year after the order. The far in the future expiry date specified in the order summary is not guaranteed. However, as long as the product is available in the shop and this remains unchanged, downloading will still be possible.

More variants are possible for the products sent by e-mail, mainly due to the choice of tempo.
