Product Description
The Deluxe Black Folder is the flagship folder we produce - a durable, lightweight, ergonomic folder with options available to suit a wide range of requirements. This is one of the best folders available for singers and conductors; an elegant lightweight folder at good value. It's frequently chosen as a gift, too.
One of the more important features that differ our folders from other folders is the bottom strap, which is attached at the outside base of the folder and detachable from a low-profile button on the front so it can open fully. This gives three benefits: more room inside; page turns that don't scrape against the strap; and lastly, a bookmark: that bottom strap angles in at 45 degrees when closing the folder, to act as a bookmark for impromptu bows during concerts - with no panic at the next upbeat - because you're on the right page when the folder opens again.
The folder has a comfortable hand strap at the back for you to hold it securely, and the deeply-textured leatherette aids in dissipating perspiration from your hand if you are performing under hot stage lights. A lightweight aluminum hinge is riveted securely inside, to give the folder superior rigidity and durability, and these folders come with a minimum of 10 lengths of elasticized cord. You can slide your opened music behind a cord, to retain it in concert order, impossible to drop, and faster to find during rehearsal. Extra cords and ring adaptors for hole-punched paper are also available.
Expandable pockets store surplus music. All folders include a name card pocket and name card, and hold US Letter and A4 and all common score sizes with ease. Larger works or hymnals can rest in the folder, sure not to slip out because of the bottom strap, or you can put multiple cords in different places in the music like bookmarks, to flip to that point or to skip sections quickly.
Finally, a popular option is a clear pocket that overlays the existing left pocket. You can read your concert program or church service bulletin through the transparent pocket, instead of having to pull it up to see the lower portion of the page. It's also handy for notes such as changes in standing order and rehearsal plans for directors. Photos, especially from choirs that tour, tend to end up in that clear pocket too.

Individual Folder Custom Imprinting Preview
Please be advised: This preview is mainly for your peace of mind in approximate positioning.
- The beautiful sheen of the foils isn't evident in color approximations.
- Foil-stamped type often has no computer font equivalent; typestyles aren't matched.
- The foil-stamp font sets are extremely limited in diacritical markings too: read our Intro to this section, and workarounds for exact text reproduction.
Pre-Order Information
Pre-Orders reserve future production for you in our current allocation of B2C (direct sales to musicians: 50%+) and B2B (sales to music stores, up to 50%), from each production run.Full disclosure:
We are currently producing thousands of folders each month for you. We typically produce 2000-3000 of one type of folder at a time and cycle through about 5 types of our most popular folders. So, it might be a few weeks to a few months if 'your' folder is in an upcoming production run (that is not already fully reserved). Or it might be 3-6 months if the next production run of a few thousand folders is ALREADY filled up and we cycle through building 10,000-15000 other folders before doing 'your' type again.
Our this-year goal is to ramp up to about 6000-8000 folders/month which should meet demand and catch up. That's a lot of folders.
Thanks for your patience and understanding of this fair system of reservation that we are implementing.
