Music SalesPassantino Music Papers No.736 Wide Stave, 8X7, 64 Pages, Spiral
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A spiral-bound wide-stave manuscript book, 8x7 inches, 64 pages. For handwriting music where large staves make writing easier.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Young students learning to notate by hand
- Teachers writing out exercises during a lesson
- Anyone whose handwriting crowds standard-size staves
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Dense scores or full arrangements — wide staves mean fewer bars per page
- Players wanting a pocket-size sketchpad; 8x7 is bigger than that
- Anyone needing pre-printed clefs or specific instrument staves
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Spiral binding
Opens flat and folds back on itself, so it stays put on a piano desk or music stand while you write.
Detail 03
8 x 7 inches
Smaller than letter size and close to square. Fits a gig bag pocket, but holds less per page than a full-size pad.
Detail 04
64 pages
Enough for a term of lesson notes or exercise writing, not for a long project you plan to keep adding to.
Detail 05
Blank manuscript
Staves only. You draw your own clefs, key and time signatures, which suits teaching but slows down fast sketching.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Staves per page isn't stated; wide-stave books hold noticeably fewer than standard ones
- 02Spiral wire can catch in a bag — expect edge wear over a school year
- 03Test your pen first; some inks bleed through thinner manuscript paper
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many staves per page?
Not listed for this book. Wide-stave manuscript generally fits fewer systems per page than standard ruling, which is the tradeoff for the larger writing space.
02Is this good for a kid just learning to write notes?
Yes. Wide staves give more room between lines, so beginner noteheads land where they're meant to instead of smearing across two lines.
03Will it lie flat on a music stand?
The spiral binding lets it open flat and fold back, which is the main practical advantage over a stapled or perfect-bound pad.
04Does it have clefs printed?
It's blank staves. You write in your own clefs and signatures.
