Even though it’s early (by our standards, at least), we wanted to let you know about our great Christmas products that are not yet available on our website.
There are 3 that are ready to go . . . some of you might already have A Shiny New Christmas, Holiday Classics, and Joy To The World.
A Shiny New Christmas is a wonderful collection of pop holiday songs and traditional carols, performed by an 8-voice, Manhattan Transfer-type singing group and orchestra. Songs include The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Sleigh Ride, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas and Caroling, Caroling. Holiday Classics features Ed Vodicka at the piano, along with holiday bells, performing warm, cozy versions of pop holiday favorites such as The Christmas Song, Christmas Time Is Here, White Christmas, and The First Snowfall Of The Winter. Ed is again spotlighted in Joy To The World – a traditional, reverent treatment of tradition Christmas Carols such as Angels We Have Heard On High, Away In A Manger, O Come All Ye Faithful and Silent Night, performed by solo piano and chimes.
New titles this season include A Jazzy Christmas, Christmas Organ and Chimes, and our exciting Christmas Caroling Songbook in conjunction with our friends at Hal Leonard Publishing. The latter includes 72 carols and songs complete with caroling book and sing-a-long accompaniment discs — four in all. Just wait till you see and hear it!
We’ll get samples posted soon. If you would like email notifications as soon as these products are available, email us at Customer.Service@webonlypiano.com and we’ll put you on the list!
This page helps with choosing the correct disc format for your piano.
Our catalog is divided into three major types:
If you have a Moving Key player piano system, it is going to be branded with one of the following:
- PianoDisc
- Yamaha Disklavier
- QRS Pianomation
- PianoForce
- Roland Digital Grand (with moving keys)
- Suzuki Digital Grand (with moving keys)
- Kohler Digital Grand (with moving keys)
- Baldwin Concertmaster
If you have what is referred to as a Digital Piano, you will be looking for General Midi products. Some popular brands are Roland, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kurzweil, Techniques, Korg, Casio and many more.
If you simply would like a copy of one of our albums in a standard audio CD format, this is for you. They do not interact with your piano at all, and just require a regular CD player.

Webmaster Frank has been doing a great job on the structure that will seamlessly move users back-and-forth between our up-coming dynamic new, robust site and our store.
The store inventory listing has been simplified. Users may simply browse through the catalog, and drop selections in their cart. But the search/sort interface will be there for users who wish to view only specific catagories of discs.
We’re busy preparing all our new titles for fall release, as well as spectacular Christmas and Holiday products. They will be available as traditional audio CDs as well as Disklavier, PianoDisc, QRS Pianomation, PianoForce, Baldwin Concertmaster, Kohler Digital, Suzuki and Roland Player systems. So when you have favorite discs that you play on your player piano, you will now be able to have standard audio CDs to play in your car, office, or to use as gifts.
We welcome your feedback, so let us know your thoughts anytime by dropping us a note at Customer.Service@webonlypiano.com.
