This is a great, solid music folder! They make a bigger size "big band" style folder with a 3 inch spine so you can fit a lot of music. Also, the expanding pockets are deeper. But this folder, with its Elastic bands to keep music from falling out, works really well and can hold a lot of sheets safely with no worry of damage or wear and tear. I am a classical sax player with a lot of solo pieces/sheets, warm ups and etude books. This folder holds all my stuff with room to spare. This might be the best choice for a music folder.
