Frequently Asked Questions

Music & Style

What is the "Hymnal Style"?
Our recordings follow the hymnal exactly. They feature a clear introduction (usually the last line of the hymn) so the congregation knows exactly when to start, followed by multiple verses.

Are there vocals on the tracks?
No. These are strictly instrumental accompaniments (Piano, Organ, or Duet) designed to lead your congregation's voices.

How do I choose between High and Low keys?
We recommend listening to the samples on our Hymn Index. Generally, the "Low" keys are better for congregations that struggle with higher notes.

Technology & Compatibility

Will these play in a Yamaha Clavinova?
Many modern Clavinovas (CLP-500 series+, CVP-400 series+, and all CSP models) support MP3 playback. Please check your manual to ensure your model has a "USB Audio Player." Note: You may need to move individual files out of their folders and into the main "root" directory of the thumb drive for the piano to recognize them. Let us know in the comment field of your order that these are for a Clavinova and we will load the thumb drive up that way for you before we ship.

Can I use these on an iPad, iPhone, or Tablet?
Yes! For Apple users, we recommend the free iZip app to open download files. Once unzipped, they play perfectly on any mobile device.

Do the USB drives work in church sound systems?
If your sound system has a USB port that plays MP3s, our drives are "Plug-and-Play." You can also transfer the files from your computer to your church's digital system easily.

Legal & Usage

Can we use these for Live Streaming?
Yes. You have our full permission to use these recordings in church services streamed on YouTube, Facebook, or your church website.

Are there Copyright fees?
No. All hymns we record are in the Public Domain. You do not need to worry about licensing fees or copyright strikes when using our music in your ministry.

Can I make copies of these recordings?
Purchased recordings are for the use of your specific ministry only. Redistribution, reselling, or making copies for distribution outside of your own church's use is strictly prohibited and protected by copyright law.

Future Plans

Are there more hymns coming?
Yes! We are currently finalizing Volume 7, which will feature 25 more assorted hymns. We expect this to be available for purchase this summer.

Do you offer Praise Choruses?
At this time, we do not. To best serve our mission, we plan to stick to traditional hymns for the foreseeable future.

Satisfaction & Returns

What if these aren't the right fit for our church?
We want you to be 100% satisfied. If the accompaniment doesn't work for your congregation, please contact us within 30 days. We are happy to help you find the right volume or provide a full refund.

What if my CD or USB is defective?
If you receive a damaged or defective item, just let us know. We will ship a replacement to you immediately at no cost to you.
