Product # LRCH8 Card Holder for
Color-Coded Cards |

|
This handy card holder was custom
manufactured to fit up to 8 of the color coded cards for directing and
playing chords. (Order #SP2389 or #SP2390). You may hold the card holder
with one of your hands, attach it to a music stand using a clip, or hang it
up using the two grommets. After you determine the chords needed for a song,
place the cards into the holder through the open slots. The bell ringers can
see the bells through one side, while the conductor can see the chord names
from the other. Simply point to the proper chord at the moment the chord is
to be played. Since all the chords for the song are visible, this holder
will help your ringers to remember if their bell is used in a given song.
You’ll find this device particularly useful for songs which have more than 3
chords or chords that change quickly. Important note for owners
of the original Little Ringers laminated cards: Since this card
holder was manufactured for the new SP2389 & SP2390 cards by Sweet Pipes,
you will need to trim off about 1/8 of an inch of the top or bottom of your
laminated cards in order to fit them into this card holder. |

circle notes clearly. These sets are available at many department
stores, school supply stores, etc.. They sell for about $5.95. |
