“I’ve come to replace mine with the exact model after probably 15 years of use because the clear pocket is coming loose. This folder is a very good value. It has served me well for many years. The horizontal hand strap allows your hand to rest naturally on the spine. Bottom strap takes stress off your hand during a show but unhooks to open relatively flat on a piano or table. Double pencil holders come in handy. Double cords have gotten me through every two hour Christmas concert I’ve done, holding 20 pieces of music. The cords are still in excellent shape. I have the three ring insert but have rarely used it. I’ve seen some people use two ring inserts, one for each half and change them out at intermission. Finally, my name is embossed in black - easy to pick out on the restroom shelf but not visible to the audience on stage. Im so glad they still make this model!”
Thanks Jackie! Nothing lasts forever but we do our best.
And they're still affordably about the cost of one cup of coffee a year for the life you can get out of them. I like that very light singer's model particularly for use with scores of larger works, although with up to 20 cords, in can easily hold a full programme of shorter ones too. You'll be pleased to see that we've redesigned the clear pocket to allow the edges to flex, for even greater durability.
“Perfect for concerts, my books stayed well in place with the elastics. I will use it a lot next season during music rehearsal, because we will only have sheet music this time. I am happy to have chosen the option of the rings in addition.”
“This folder is classy. The black cover is comfortable to grip. The name and number on the cover in gold is appealing. The folder 's strong elastic holders allow for our choir to place many pieces of music in order for concerts. With several choir members on a riser together the slightly slimmer size of the folders is ideal.”
“I prefer this choir folder to others that I have used. It keeps the music firmly in place, and the webbing strap at the bottom makes it easier to hold the folder with one hand, while turning pages. The only improvement would be a folder that is lighter weight. When it is filled with all the scores for a choral concert, it weighs enough to tire my arms and even unbalance me. To compensate, I carry only the first half of the concert's scores, then switch it out for the second half's scores during the intermission.”
