Within the site there is a list of our successful range of box sets, a complete list of audio from each section of the catalogue, descriptions of our transfer techniques for both the Prima Voce series of 78 rpm recordings and for the Grand Piano series of piano roll recordings, an introduction to our series of Surround Sound DVD Music discs, an explanation of Nimbus' position on copyright on the Internet and elsewhere and a more extended list of contacts should you wish to bring something to our attention.
If you cannot find an appropriate person to whom to address any comments, suggestions or questions, please send them to me and I will pass them on. I hope you enjoy our site.
