Technicsplayer, I notice a post re R. Stiger has been withdrawn. Any public reason? I believe I followed up on that original post, ordered a disk from Carillon Studios, sent credit card info by two emails, as requested, expected a response within 2 days, as stated. However three days later no reply.
Regards
Keith

Hi, I only answered the question, the originator of the thread is the one who can delete it.

I was the originator of that thread, and I deleted it quite by accident. It was just a simple question on who was Reg Stiger, and who sold his style disks, which technicsplayer and I both agree are quite good.

Truthfully, I do not like the method of ordering through the Carillon website, sending 2 emails, split your credit card number, wait 2 days for a response. In my opinion, they could update their method of purchacing, that would probably benifit both Carillion and the consumer. Just my honest opinion.

Good Luck Keith, let us know how you make out with them.

Larry Hawk

Keith,

Have you heard anything from Carillon ?
A friend of mine tried to order from them over a week ago,recieved nothing and has tried to contact them, but no luck.

Anyone know the status of Carillon ?
Are they still in buisness ?

Thanks

Larry,
So far, Day 4, not a thing. Sent a follow up email at the end of day 2, also no reply.
Got an email from New Zealand from a person in the same situation, but they had had no reply after 7 days!

Anything specific you are looking for, I have a few. Walter.

The delay may be caused by the fact that Carillon/John Romero have been organising and running an accordion event (20-23 Feb) in Eastbourne. Maybe another try is called for?

I received two files today from Carillon with apologies for their lateness as they were all at the festival. I ordered them by phone on Wednesday last. If I order files from suppliers in Melbourne, I can go straight from the phone to the computer and they are there- they actually send them as you order them. But then, we are pretty smart down here.

Hi Jean
May I ask who you order from in Melbourne?
Roger M

And in this modern day and age, that is the way it should be, IMHO

Larry Hawk

Roger. Try http://www.bandtrax.com.au These are song backing tracks- but the method of delivering the file to the customer should be the same whether song or style. Sometimes we get 5 songs at the one time and they are sent instantly. Jean.

Thanks Jean, I'll have a look see...
Besty wishes
Roger M

Jean,
I believe those are midi files ...much smaller and easier to send via computer download vs. larger Technic Style Disks.

Having said that, it should be no problem for sites that sell Style Disks to be able to send them to the customer as a computer download, and not by Snail Mail.

Larry

Larry. You learn something every day. I thought style would be the same as song. Carillon do E-mail styles and quote a 2 day
time delay. Still, the delay seems to be in the time between taking the order and pressing the computer button, not in the actual downloading time. I am glad to have the styles to add to my library, but the ones I ordered did not have that elusive soft stringy modern waltz that I am looking for.Reguards Jean Olivia

Jean - for your interest John Romero (Carillon) is perhaps the world's top accordion player and probably gigs around 365 days a year in addition to running master classes and musical weekends etc
He runs Carillon with his wife from his home on the south coast and it is only a small business rather like Neil Blake's Style Disk Warehouse - you don't make a fortune selling style disks to a very limited audience...
He is quite a character and perhaps the most genuine man I've come across in a long time...

Hiya Jean again
Do you know about www.musicrobot.com
perhaps the biggest and best search engine for free midi-files of all qualities from dreadful to magnificent?
Rog

That's a big "perhaps" M. Mepstead. John is pretty good, but the worlds best, come on even he wouldn't go that far. Listen to some music from Frank Marocco, Henry Doktorski, Marcosignori, Jack Emblow, etc. and you may change your mind!

Fair comment Mike - I'm only going on what I've been told - you'd know better probably though being an accordion player...
I certainly believe that his style files are of the highest quality and use them extensively.
Cheers
Roger M

Roger. Thank you for the website information. Sorry I am late replying but I have been down the beach for the weekend and the weather was beautiful. Cheers Jean.
