Frequently Asked Questions

Music & Singing Range

What do you mean by "hymnal style"?
Our recordings stay close to the familiar style churches already know. Each hymn begins with a clear last-line introduction and continues at a steady, singable tempo through all verses included in our arrangement.

Are there vocals on the recordings?
No. Our hymn accompaniments are completely instrumental and are available as solo piano, solo organ, or piano & organ duet recordings. They are designed to support congregational singing without a recorded vocalist.

What is the difference between High Keys and Low Keys?
Standard High Keys generally follow the traditional singing range commonly found in hymnals. Our Low Keys transpose the hymns into a more comfortable range for lower voices and many older congregations. We recommend listening to samples before ordering.

Technology & Compatibility

Can I use the MP3 files on a tablet or phone?
Yes. MP3 downloads can be used on computers, tablets, phones, and other devices that support standard MP3 audio files. Download orders are delivered in organized ZIP folders that can be extracted and saved to your preferred device.

Can I use the recordings with a Yamaha Clavinova?
Many modern Yamaha Clavinova models support MP3 playback. If you are ordering a USB flash drive for use with a Clavinova, mention it in the comments at checkout and we'll organize the files appropriately before shipping.

How should we use a USB flash drive with our church sound system?
The MP3 files can be played from a computer or compatible device connected to your church sound system. We recommend copying the files to your computer or playback device and keeping the original USB flash drive in a safe place as a backup.

Usage & Permissions

Can we use your recordings during church services?
Yes. Our hymn accompaniments are specifically created for use in church services, chapel services, small groups, and other ministry settings.

Can we use the recordings in a livestream?
You have our permission to use our accompaniment recordings as part of your church services, including services streamed on platforms such as YouTube or Facebook. If a hymn itself is still protected by copyright, your church may also need the appropriate license or permission for the underlying composition.

Are all of the hymns public domain?
Many traditional hymns are in the public domain, while others may still be protected by copyright. Our permission covers the use of our accompaniment recording; any licensing requirements for a copyrighted hymn itself remain separate.

Can I share or copy the recordings for another church?
Purchased recordings are intended for the use of the purchasing church, ministry, or customer. Please don't redistribute or provide copies of the recordings to other organizations or individuals.
