WELCOME
Thank you for purchasing the MusicTurner™.
MusicTurner™ is an automatic page-turning device for music
books or sheet music. It is a highly powerful and convenient
device that will change the way you play music instruments
forever.
The MusicTurner™ has a patented design that solves the
problem of having to stop or rush to turn the pages of sheet
music while playing an instrument. By allowing you to play
your instrument without interruption, the MusicTurner™
enhances the overall performance and enjoyment.
Because most musical instruments require both hands to play,
the perceived convenience of a mechanical device that could
turn the pages of sheet music automatically has been around
since the Renaissance. Even Leonardo DaVinci reportedly
tried to come up with a design but to no avail. Many have tried
since to come up with a practical solution, but often it was too
large, too cumbersome, too noisy, or all of the above.
The MusicTurner™ is the first product to address and solve
all of these problems. The MusicTurner™ is compact,
portable, reliable and easy to use.
Open up the MusicTurner™ and set up your sheet music.
Then as you play your instrument, step on the foot pedal to
turn the page. It’s really that simple. Now you need only to
concentrate on playing.

1. FEATURES
 Ease of Use & One-touch Operation: Simply open
up the MusicTurnerTM and set up the bound sheet
music on it. Then turn the power on and start playing
your instrument. Just press the Foot Pedal switch
whenever you want to turn a page.
 Reliability: Turns one page at a time accurately.
Also, holding the opened book firmly, the
MusicTurnerTM keeps pages from turning back.
 Convenience: Set up once and you are good to go
until last page.
 Portability: Being small, light and battery-operated,
it’s easy to carry anywhere.
 Wireless Remote Control: The wireless Foot Pedal is
used to turn the pages. It also allows a second
person to operate the device from up to 5m (15 ft)
away.
 Magnetic Attachment: Equipped with two magnets at
the back panel side, the MusicTurnerTM will attach to
a metal music stand firmly and won’t fall down easily.
 Versatility: The MusicTurnerTM fits any music stands
or keyboard instruments and accommodates most
classical music book sizes.

3. OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
1. AC Adaptor
You may use any standard AC adaptor that coverts standard AC
power in your country to 6V DC power:
 Input Voltage: 100V-240V
 Output Voltage: 6V
You can purchase the AC adapter from any electronics shop.
CAUTION: Please make sure to use an AC adapter with
output of 6V only. Otherwise, it may cause damages to
the MusicTurner™.
2. Rechargeable Batteries
Although the MusicTurner™ is designed to work with 4 regular 1.5V
AA alkaline batteries, you may use rechargeable batteries instead.
However, because the rechargeable batteries use 1.2V instead of
1.5V, the page-turning speed may slow down a little if you use the
rechargeable batteries.
3. Case/Carrying Bag
FineFuture supplies optional carrying bags for your convenience.
For more details, please contact your MusicTurner™ dealer or
check our Website at http://www.finefuture.com.

Note: While the MusicTurner™ works with most

Please read the operating instructions carefully before first use.
1 Place the MusicTurner™ on the
music stand. The top cover of the
MusicTurner™ should face upwards.
Note: If you are placing the
MusicTurner™ on a upright
piano, refer to Using Upright
Piano Adaptor; if using a grand
piano or digital keyboard, refer to
Using Angle Recliner..
2 Open the MusicTurner™ cover.
Note: When the cover is opened,
the angle between the cover and
MusicTurner™ main body should
be between 90oand 95o.
Otherwise, the pages may not be

desired page.
Put the book on the MusicTurner™
and insert the right corner of the
music book into the BOOK EDGE
HOLDER as shown in the picture.

Note: Sometimes a brand new volume of sheet music may require
a little of “breaking-in” so that pages may turn more easily. For
more information, please refer to Using New Books
Note: If there is no book placed on the MusicTurner™, the
power will not turn on. This is to reduce unnecessary wear and
tear.

you spend some time practicing with the
MusicTurner™ before actually using it in a
performance situation.

Tip: If you turn more than 25 pages using the MusicTurner™
consecutively, the book may be pushed slightly to left or the front
page may come out from the BOOK EDGE HOLER as shown
below.
When this happens, it may be necessary to push the
book back to the right to the inside corner of the Book
Edge Holder.
To prevent the book from being moved, you may use a
binder clip to hold the back cover of the book and the
music stand together as shown below. The book will
be securely placed on the MusicTurner and won’t
move to the left.

2. USING UPRIGHT PIANO ADAPTER (UPA)
On some upright pianos, the angle between the MusicTurner™ (or
book stand) and the book is less than 90° as shown below.
To operate properly, the angle between MusicTurner™ and the book
should be between 90° and 95°.
To adjust the angle, use the Upright Piano Adapter (UPA) as
described below.
1. Open up the UPA.
