Hi Wanda,

Have a look through the archives of this group - there are lots of 
messages with links to midi archives. Try googling for "doug mckenzie 
jazz" if you like jazz piano, and try www.classicalarchives.org if you 
like classical (think this might need a trivial subscription, but it has 
great recordings).

There are also the files from the annual Yamaha sponsored Piano 
e-Competition - these are freely available to download (but are all 
classical).

Regards

James

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
