For Grand Prix: Any of our Impresario CDs can be modified. We add a total of 1-1/2 to 2 minutes of music for piaffe/passage in two segments, create entry in gait of choice, shorten the trot music to suitable length for the level, and adjust the timing to 5:30-6:00 minutes. See the Impresario CD Catalogue page for examples of modified Grand Prix freestyles.
Exclusivity guarantee: We guarantee never to resell your Impresario CD to another rider in your USDF region or other competitive area or competition you specify, such as NAJYRC. In order to protect the originality of your freestyle, we sell only a very limited number of each Impresario CD; we typically plan on selling a total of two of each CD during different competitive seasons and in widespread locations.
Product description: All Impresario freestyle CDs are 4:30-5:00 mintues in length, excluding entry. Our Impresario CDs are tempo-adjustable and the music will be mastered to fit your horse's gaits. Impresario CDs are custom freestyles created especially for the collection.
Semi-custom option: If you desire music not available in our catalogue, we'll research and edit your choice of music for additional $100, a savings of several hundred dollars over the cost of custom freestyle. The freestyle will be added to the catalogue with the potential to be sold to another rider. If you don't want your music used by another rider, see our Custom Freestyles page for details and pricing. Your music choice must be approved by Woodwind Studios for inclusion in our catalogue.
Here's how it works: Send a full-size VHS tape, VHSC tape, or DVD (any size) of your horse. If you prefer, you can e-mail video clips or post footage in YouTube. Once gait tempos are determined, you'll be informed which Impresario freestyles from our catalogue can be successfully adjusted for your horse. Listen to music clips at this website and narrow your selection to two freestyles. We'll adjust clips for you to try at your horse's tempos. Choose the freestyle you like best and the CD will be engineered to fit your horse's gaits.
CD production scheduling: We complete freestyles on a first come, first serve basis. We can usually engineer the freestyle within 1 week of your selecting music. We make every effort to accommodate your show schedule, but please allow sufficient planning time.
Restrictions: Because we limit the number of clients we accept, once we assign you a spot in our production schedule, we cannot offer refunds. You must approve the music before we proceed with engineering. Impresario CDs are engineered from original masters which are stored in our software. These are not CDs which can simply be pulled from a shelf, mailed to you, and "tried"; significant engineering goes into the Impresario CD you receive, so that the music is customized for your horse's gaits. Once you approve music and we finish the engineering, the job is complete. If you decide you would prefer a different Impresario musical freestyle, the fee to engineer new music is $475 (or $850 Grand Prix). Re-editing of a catalogue CD is restricted to additional tempo adjustment and cost is based on $50 per hour.
