Granted many of us know and love the Cherry-Classics cd (I being a proud owner of such a product) but I was curious as to who here has tried this series of excerpts that are available through Hal Leonard distributors.

Are the parts cleaned up? Revised things? Missing stuff?
Any and all info would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Is there any link or anything like that where we can investigate it? I went to Hal Leonard's site and couldn't find anything.

I've got a couple--IMOHO, not worth the bother for low brass and definitely not worth the bother for tuba. You'll note that the grouping is the same on all CDs, regardless of instrument. So, whille they're a bargain for the strings and woodwinds, you'll get mostly "TACET" pages out of much of the collection if you're looking for tuba parts.

Having said that, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the Tchaik study score CD put out by the same outfit (CDSheetMusic).
