continuity of play

Hello all,

Ever wished you could sort your page turning technique without bending the page corner of your new and sometimes cherished music.
I have developed a brand new product to do just that called a page grip. I would love to get some feedback from you to see what you think. I have placed a demonstration on my website www.scorepian.co.uk have a look and air your views.

hrm... seems like you could just use a regular paper clip.

Whilst I accept what you say there are good reasons why you would not just use a paperclip.

1/ having a head on, additional to the length of the clip means more of the clip is there to grip the page

2/ bending a clip at 6mm like they are is by no means easy. they bend out of shape and then dont function as well.

3/nicely finished in black means they are more noticeable than the colour of wire and much more prominant

4/being proffessionally made one is more likely to look after them.

Bending the bottom corner of the page works too.  Although I think that's mentioned in the website...

If it's single pieces of paper any extra weight might be a problem.

Tape works just as well.  

And making a copy and having several pages viewable at once works too.

Or just memorize it.

Oh man...  The very end of the video... Those are just paper clips with a little thing attached to them.  Haha.  Those don't look professional at all.  It's a paperclip!  Haha.     I thought they were little white plastic clips.  That's a standard metal paper clip.    

What caught my attention a little more was that booklet.  The comb binding.  That can be trickier to put together.

I fully accept that they are a paperclip with a thing on the end. You are missing the point though.. it's easy to say that one could make one but the following reasons make it the lesser option.
1/ the paper clip is bent at 6mm, any further you minimise grip. one can't bend by hand at 6mm
2/ self bending severely mis-shapes the clip.
3/ putting a head on the clip (bent forward), easy to grasp, easy to see and being forward raises the page so you can get fingers underneath if you need to return
4/self made would only be a makeshift example and it is highly unlikely that one would
5/ It is a saleable product, that any teacher can sell to students.
But hey ho, everyones entitled to their opinion, but for me "IT WORKS"

REGARDS;
MARTIN

1. Why would you pay for something you can make yourself?
2. The most serious musicians (who would actually care if their music got damaged) still has got plenty of pencilmarks in their scores.
3. It's a paperclip with a thing on it.
4. the idea that teacher should sell to their students is kind of disturbing.. Don't really know why.

Though, it's cool that you try, and some people might want to buy it..
