While I have been taking notes of increasing number of musicians using these, I myself have to confess to feeling very awkward about using it, actually. First of all, I only wear heals when I perform. And so, just pedaling my piano is already an additional challenge, let alone having to pedal my page-turning. Secondly, my foot cannot go back and forth between the piano pedal and another device. It often turns the page backward (by pressing the left portion of the device), when I need to be turning forward! Lastly, I used to have a Lenovo Yoga &#8211; you can look up to see what the product&#8217;s habitual problems with the touch-panel screen, and screen-freezing. Anyways, during one performance, my screen just completely froze. In fact, I was playing with Maiko. I went as far as I could from memory, but eventually gave up. We had to stop the performance of a piece in the middle, excuse ourselves for technical difficulties, and resort to a hard copy &#8211; which, thankfully, we had.<\/p>\n<p>However, all of my litanies aside, it is the future for pianists, I am sure of it. And it is just expensive enough, that a young music students would rule it out as too expensive to afford for themselves, despite the obvious need. It would make for a great gift, if you know of a aspiring pianist.<\/p>\n<p>One of my biggest fans gifted me generously with something I use everyday now. It is Microsoft Surface Book 2.&nbsp; It was for my birthday last month, and it was a product that just came out. The screen detaches itself and becomes a tablet &#8211; perfect for reading music from! And it never seems to freeze the way my old Lenovo Yoga used to. Maybe it&#8217;s the blue light, but I&#8217;ve been practicing much more productively now, than when I had to shuffle all the loose leaf pages of music printed from PDF.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=musicalmakiko-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B076J184LM&amp;asins=B076J184LM&amp;linkId=9a227fd696a3daaf9b3cb9a87067ece1&amp;show_border=false&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=false&amp;price_color=333333&amp;title_color=0066c0&amp;bg_color=ffffff\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\">&lt;br \/&gt;<br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>That IS a hefty gift, but perhaps a stylus to make notes on your digitized PDF music is more appropriate as a holiday present for a pianist friend of yours?
