Question:
What kind of paper clips are required?
Answer: Most any kind of paper clip will work. The standard paper clip will work well. Please check the User Manual for the best placement of the paper clips.
Question:
Will the page turner work for musicians other than pianists?
Answer: Yes, it will be placed on a music stand in that case.
Question:
How loud is the page turner when working?
Answer: We think the page turner is relatively quiet thanks to microstepping technology. However, we'll let you make your own assessment. Below we have provided 3 audio samples of piano playing while the turner turns a page.
Question:
What size of sheet music will the turner work with?
Answer: The turner will work naturally with sheet music that are 12" in height. The vast majority of sheet music are 12". For sheet music that are shorter, they can still work if they are elevated by placing a support underneath them. Support pieces will be available as accessories. For sheet music taller than 12", we're out of luck for now, though we're not aware of any such sheet music.
Question:
Will the turner work with printed 8.5" x 11" paper (standard letter paper)?
Answer: Yes if the paper are bound, for example in a 3-ring binder or by stapling them together. The pictures below shows it in a 3-ring binder, and separately as stapled. The 3-ring binder is recommended. Please also see the above Q&A on the support piece underneath.
Question:
Will the turner fit my piano?
Answer: The short answer is yes. The long answer is: the turner is the same size as typical sheet music. And since nearly all pianos are designed to support sheet music, the turner will fit. If you have any concern, feel free to send us a picture of your piano to service@automaticPageTurner.com and we'll let you know. Also you can find the dimensions of the page turner in the Product & Demo page.

"I have indeed received the APT. First feedback is great ! I saw that a lot of care went into the package, and the APT looks sturdier than I imagined.
We were a bit surprised with the sound the first time it turned a page (my girlfriend named it "r2 d2"), but when I play over it, we don't hear a thing.
Thanks for making and shipping this APT, it will be very useful to me." - Paul C., Toulouse, France, 2/24/23.
