I recently stocked up on the vinyl urtext book protectors that Henle makes…….they are one of my FAVORITE things. They help keep my books in good shape!
My $52.00 (yes, OUCH!) Beethoven Sonatas volumes are much happier and safer inside their own protective covers.
Although these vinyl covers are specially designed to fit Henle Urtext editions, I use them on my other books too even if they have a little extra room at the top.
See below? My Padereswi Chopin Nocturnes score looks content too. =)
I buy these whenever I buy new scores that cost me $15 or more. Instead of buying them for all your scores, however, I suppose you could buy a set of 3 or 4 and move them to whatever books you are currently using the most. The covers cost about $3.50 each.
Check them out! You can find them on SheetMusicPlus or Prima Music.
I also use these covers for sheet music that students borrow so they have a better chance on coming back in the same shape as they left.
Great idea, Jennifer! I do wish they made a slightly smaller size to fit the average-sized music book. The urtext size is a little tall, but it certainly does it’s job!
Thanks for the info, just ordered a pack of 12 from ebay for $42.95. Hope they work out!
