I'm impressed that it's being offered at such a high price since computer generated music printing is so much easier and accurate.

Actually, there's been a disaster in the computer printed music business. For 35 years, a program called Finale was the dominant software for music preparation. However, the company recently announced that they were ceasing support for their program. Tens of thousands of musicians have been screwed over by this corporate decision. I've actually bought a couple of computers and "frozen" them with the software and matching OS so I can convert the tens of thousand files that I have in Finale's format. It's a monumental disaster.

Anyway, it's been a nostalgic moment to think of hand copying!
