You’d need to ask our customers to get an objective opinion, but we believe they are every bit as good as commercial publications, and sometimes better.

Music sold by commercial publishers is sometimes simplified to make it playable by the average hobbyist musician. And sometimes the publishers need to adapt a complex multi-instrument arrangement into a simple piano format. This is a very deliberate and understandable strategy to make the music accessible to a very wide range of customers. But as a result, a lot of detail gets thrown away.

While some music publishers are very good and provide exceptional transcriptions, not all are equal. We’ve seen some commercial print music that contains glaring errors!

We take great pride in getting our transcriptions as accurate as is humanly possible. If you want exceptional accuracy, then we can do what few only a few music publishers are prepared to do.

One more thing: we have transcribed music for artists who have used our transcriptions to publish their music commercially. So our transcriptions are commercially printed sheet music! And some of our customers are commercial print music publishing houses.
