Small World The Deluxe Black Folder

The Deluxe Black Folder is Small World's flagship folder - 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 distinguishes this folder 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 aluminium hinge is riveted securely inside, to give the folder superior rigidity and durability, and these folders come with a minimum of 10 lengths of elasticised 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.
