    Default iPad Bluetooth page turners

    I have noticed many, many professional classical musicians (not too many mandolinists) are using Bluetooth foot operated page turners when performing. If anyone is familiar with these devices, could you please share pros and cons - as well as favored brand? It's an interesting phenomena and I'm just curious about it. Thank you.

    I have this one. Works well with my 9th-gen iPad.

    I use the Airturn Duo 500 with both my iPad & iPad & OnSong, saves a lot of fiddly poking

    My setup is similar to Beanzy - AirTurn Duo 200 with and iPad and Onsong. Works great.

    Piano playing friend has a page turner that works by turning your head slightly to the left for each page turn. All bets are off if a fly lands on his nose or he sneezes.

    I use a Coda Stomp with an iPad and forScore:

    https://www.soundbrenner.com/stomp/
    https://forscore.co/
    It all works well together, but I don't always use the pedal. I chose the pedal because it seemed well made, well thought out, USA made and they had a good website and support. I chose forScore based on its features some reviews and I had to choose something. I wanted to have a way to organize digital sheet music.

    Thanks Brian. ForScore looks quite interesting.

    Thank you Beanzy. I will have fun checking out that app as well as ForScore. It's definitely new (to me) technology to reduce some of the "clutter".
