Manuscript Pad A4 12-stave

This is a great item. I love manuscript books but these pages are glued like a writing pad for easy tear off and are already punched. Perfect for the purpose and good value for money too. I will definitely buy this again

Good value, and thankfully not ring bound, so you can teay off pages to hand out to band members or whatever without little bits of paper all over the place... It also makes taping multiple sheets together easier too. It's the best product of its type for those of you who have not joined the rest of the flock and succumbed to Sibelius or whatever...

On the whole I am pleased with this purchase. The sheets of paper are reasonably thick and the staves are printed clearly on both sides of each sheet. Each sheet is punched, along one side, in four places - just as I wanted. The manuscript block is smartly trimmed as per spec. The sheets are proving to be serviceable for the working musician and leave little extra to be desired. One can write with pencil, ballpoint, rollerball, Pilot Hi-Tec Point and ink pens, as one chooses. If I start with a brand-new Pilot Hi Tec Point or a brand-new rollerball [both of which will be well charged with ink, naturally] and if I work slowly while pressing hard at the same time I can cause a l-i-t-t-l-e bleeding of the ink colour through to the opposite side. Even then, the far side is still useable on an ordinary day. All I am pointing out is that for important presentation copies, it would be wisest to write on just one side.

In the past I've used woodstock manuscript books, and I think the paper quality is higher in those. But this one is cheaper and the paper is good enough to use with pencil and eraser. Also this one isn't a book, it's tear away sheets that turn at the top and have holes ready punched in at the side. So good if you want to use with a ring binder, not so good if you want to use standalone. But if you want value, this is great.

Pleased with weight and finish

Great quality and a very thick pad of manuscript.

Mozarts: loads of double-sided pages. Decent enough quality for sketching Salieris: Pre-punched holes encroach on staves 1,8 & 12. Not an issue for me but it might annoy some. I really like these sketchpads. Their 18 Staves are even better.

I've used this product for many years, both personally and with students. Easy to detach sheets from the pad for filing, whether that be for aural and harmony exercises, compositions or musical examples to accompany essays/notes on historical/analytical topics.
