GRADE B FACTORY SECONDS WILL ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE MISPRINTED FOIL STAMPING, USUALLY IN GOLD.

A "Grade B Factory Second folder may have small flaws that don't allow it to pass quality control, but most visibly, it usually features gold imprinting on the cover that didn't pass quality control. They'll still be usefully functional and at a very high discount.

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 set our folders apart 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 the folder 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 adapters 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.

While they may have similar issues described in Grade A folders, the most frequent characteristic of Grade B folders is misprinted foil stamping, usually in gold. They may also feature more serious non-conformance such as a crease across the cover or other more visible issues that still leave it a useful folder.

The Choir RingBinder is the best music folder solution for choral singers, directors, or conductors who mainly use hole-punched sheet music. It's also compatible with magazine holders / octavo holders, which can fit into the rings and allow larger scores and sheet music that is not hole-punched, to be used at the same time, placed exactly where you want in your concert order.

Much like our other folders, the Choir RingBinder is durable, lightweight, and ergonomic. It features a bottom strap that can be unbuttoned on one side, so that the folder can lay flat when you need it to, and attached for singing, with less hand stress, because your music is held open at the right angle without the need to squeeze your fingers and palm against the cover.

A set of 1" rings is solidly mounted within the folder, and opens with the push of a single button near the base, discreet and ergonomic. A snag-free ring interlock prevents paper from being caught during page turns, which is important during recording sessions so that your page turns aren't heard.The outside attached base strap provides more room inside the folder itself, prevents page turns from scraping, and functions as a bookmark when impromptu bows occur during concerts, so you can return immediately to your next song with no paper fumbling.

The comfortable hand strap at the back of the Choir RingBinder allows you to hold it securely with one hand, and there is no token grain pattern - rather, the deeply-textured leatherette helps to dissipate the perspiration that may occur under hot stage lighting, for a very comfortable feel even when held for many consecutive hours.

Store additional music in a side-expanding pocket at right. All folders come with two pencil holders, a name card pocket and name card, and they hold US Letter and A4 and all common sizes of music with ease. As the Choir RingBinder only has a single booster tab at its bottom, slightly taller European A4 size music that has been punched in the 3-hole style common to North America, will not bunch up against a booster tab at the top and get scrunched.

Finally, a clear pocket is included on the folder's left side; this allows for quick and discreet reading of a concert program or church service bulletin, rather than having to pull paper up out of a black pocket to see the lower portion of the page. It's also perfect for storing readily-accessible notes, such as changes in your standing order and directors' rehearsal plans. Photos are often found within the clear pocket as well - especially among touring choirs.

Finally, a clear pocket option is available on the folder's left, or both left and right pockets; this allows for quick and discreet reading of a concert programme or church service bulletin, rather than having to pull up a programme to see the lower portion of the page. It's also perfect for storing readily-accessible notes, such as changes in your standing order and directors' rehearsal plans. Photos are often found within the clear pocket as well -- especially among touring choirs.
