The bass player in our big band devised his own private MusicPad Pro
out of an old laptop (the guy has his own electronics firm as a day
job). All of his music, and we have a LARGE book, is scanned in and
stored there. On the gig he does not need a stand light, either,
since the screen provides its own illumination. With his numeric
keypad he can pull up tunes much faster than the rest of us with our
old-fashioned paper charts. He is happy with it.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
