I purchased this folder 8 years ago, and though it has since seen very heavy and constant use, it is still in excellent shape. It is rather large, but is sturdily made (or at least it was 8 years ago), and can hold a large volume of music. I carry multiple method books in addition to music and scores, and it holds everything just fine. Unless the design has changed, this folder WILL hold oversized orchestral sheet music, which the previous reviewers seem to disagree with. The folder has gusseted pockets, which allow them to extend horizontally as well as laterally. It will NOT however hold oversize orchestral scores, or bound scores with 1″ bindings.

All in all, I am very pleased that I made the purchase. You will not be disappointed.

The material it is made out of is pretty strong. It’s like a petrolium plastic of some sorts and really reeks. But the folder is awesome! I hope it will last a long time.

Some say this folder is not big enough. Let me start off by saying that there is a bigger version of this folder…… therefore if you stress that this folder too small, instead of leaving a bad review on a product that doesn’t deserve such criticism, please go ahead and pick that one up.
Having that said, this folder deserves 5 starts in every category.

Built: leather material, professional looking, sleek, slim.

Storage: I have around 30 pages of printed music on the left pocket and 5 music scores (etudes/Pieces) on the right pocket. This folder fits them all and keeps the entire folder looking slim.

Security: There are two rubber straps on the side, which will secures the folder to its maximum safety. You do not have to worry about your music being folded or slip out of the folder. Even when the folder is at its thickest point, the straps which is made of rubber, will stretch its tension to protect the music by securely tightening the folder.

I’m a freelancer clarinetist and this folder fits perfectly into a backpack and my instrument case without any hassle. 100% satisfaction guaranteed!! 🙂
